Default servos???

Iv got a bunch of s3003 ans3001 servos hanging around and wanted to know If these would be sufficiant for a 60 size plane. My 3003 servos are all fairly new and the 3001 servos have abount 2 years of flight in a raptor 30 heli. I don't want to risk my new plane with these crappy servos! What servos should I run, preferably not to expensive.

Thanks

Depends on the plane and how you plane to fly it. What plane is it?

guess I'm lost ,in one sentence the servos are fairly new, next sentence they are crappy. If servos are crappy then trash them,if good then in a standard size 60 plane and ave. sport flying then your good?servos are ok.

I think the 3001's might be OK in a .60 sized plane, I used them for a short while successfully in a .90 sized before I switched. Two years on a servo is allot, I'd just replace them - at least the way I fly ;-) Servo's are one of those "consumables" like batts.

I will be putting these in a WM intruder or a Prince 60. size plane, im still decideng. The 3003 have about 10 flights and the 3001 have 2 years of heli flights.

i run 3004 servos on 5cells.fast strong and cheap.i think 60 size would be the biggest plane i would use them on.as long as the speed is under 100mph you should be fine.

the 3001s are easily powerfull enough in a 60 or even a 120 sized plane at 3.5 kgs, the 3003s are slightly faster but are not ball raced. Ive used and seemed then used on hundreds of 60 sized models with no problems..
