Default elevator servos

I`m planning to bulid 3D plane such as 3W xtra-fun of Funtana 140. I want to put 2xHS-225MG on elevators. Would that be enough?
I`m going to use 6V.

I work that out to be just under 5kg/cm. Prob be ok with 2 but you may want something a bit stronger.

If you want a mini why not try two JR 9411. Metal geared and you get virtually 6kg/cm torque on 4.8V These are really good servos.

The 225's are LOUSY servos. I have two of the 225MG's and they center lousy and hold lousy. You would be much better off with a standard futaba 3004, forget the specs the 3004's have more holding power.

Personally, for a strong, light, cheap servo I'd use a Hitec 5475 digital for $35 or the plain old hitec 475 for only $18.

Trust me, the 225's are junk [:'(]
