Default RE: Servo selection

ORIGINAL: schematic

While i am a complete beginner in terms of building this type of aircraft (jets), flying should not be a problem as for the first 30 hours will be fixed flight in the wind tunnel, after this we will be using a experienced jet model pilot used to the F18 control, and hopefully eventually flick over to UAV control. So far I have found these forums to spend more time trying to detract people from building rather then trying to support them through build issues. Just because people are beginners in these areas does not mean they have some basic common sense in operating these aircraft. I also find here that no one is eager to make the transition from fixed wing trainers to jets. Sure jets are hard to fly and jets crash hard but that is life, you have to make the change some time.
Schematic, this is a "Beginner's" forum. It is used by people who want to learn to fly radio control ariplanes. It is very common for someone to have just seen some cool jet and decide they want to emulate Maverick and be the next top gun with an R/C jet. When these people first post on this forum many of us invest our time helping them understand that they may need to start a bit smaller, and slower. We do this not to be difficult, but to help these people suceed. Helping a person who has never built or flown an R/C plane build a jet is a waste of time because they WILL destroy it.

Your goal, now that you have finally explained it, is different. If you had said what you were doing, up front, the people reading your post would have understood your goals, and you most likely would have received different answers.

Based on your goals, this thread actually would be much better suited in a Jet forum, where the people who participate have more experience with the questions you are asking. The typical airplanes discussed in this forum are high wing trainers and other planes that would be suitable for a person's second or third. Discussions about more advanced planes typically take place in other forums.
