Default RE: Matching Servos To Plane Size (for a .10-.15 sized plane)

I used to call it power steering before the wave of giant servos arrived. WW II fighters used it before large scale use of hydraulics came along.

It will reduce servo sizes and give more accurate throws as the push rods work a lot less.

If you toss a plane around a lot it also reduces servo battery drain by about 1/3. If you size it right.
