I bought a flight pack a while back that consisted of a Hitec 555 receiver, and 3 HS-81 servos. I originally bought it for my GWS slow stick, but have since abandonded that project. I am in the process of gathering the parts for my first SPAD airplane. I have heard that the HS-81 servos are a bit too small for this purpose. (Buhor 25). However, I am thinking of using the Hitec 555 receiver in the SPAD. Is this as good a receiver as any other? It is small and limited to 5 channels, but is the range the same as the regular receivers? How does it compare to the Futaba R127DF besides # of channels?

Also, can I use Futaba S3004 standard servos in this hitec rx, or do I need Hitec servos? And if I go /w Hitec servos what is the direct substitute for the Futaba S3004's?

Thanks.
