Default SERVO ADVICE PLEASE

I am trying to decide between the following servos for aileron, elevator, and rudder for the following aerobatic plane:

SPECS:
Wing Span: 80"
Wing Area: 1130 sq"
Length: 69"
Weight: 10 - 11 lbs
Engine: .90 -1.50 2-cycle glow

SERVOS:
Futaba BLS451 Brushless Digital Metal Gears
Futaba S9153 Digital Coreless Metal Gears
JR DS9411 Coreless Metal Gears

Are there other servos I should consider?

Regards
JC

JC,
I can't comment on the JR servo as I have never used them, but I have used the Futabas and I love the BLS servos. Ultra fast, precise and quiet.

JC man i used to live in Smithville yrs, and yrs, ago when it was considered the country lol.
I would use the reccomended servos whatever that manufacturer suggests can't go wrong there.
If not atleast use the same oz, and whatever else they suggest if going with another brand.
Not much really to decide except brand. If changing just compare apples to apples. DS821's
might do what you want also. JR's brand. I use all DS821's on a similar size plane but with alot more motor
they should do what your need with power to spare.
