Servo selection question
 
I've got four Hitec HS-5945 and four Hitec HS-5925 servos that I bought for my 31% CA Models Extra 300L. At 6V the 5945 produces 180 oz/in of torque, and the 5925 produces 128 oz/in.

My question is, which servos do I use for what? Currently I've got two 5925 ganged for the rudder, one 5925 in each elevator half, and two 5945 for each aileron. My reasoning behind this is that I would have incredible speed for the elevator and rudder (for 3D) and have plenty of holding power on the HUGE ailerons on this plane.

What do you think? Should I use the 5945 for the rudder and elevator to have a larger amount of torque or just leave it like it is?

My opinion is that setup will work just fine.It's also my opinion that any time you use 2 digital servos together,you should use a programmer to set end points and center points so the servos aren't fighting each other.

Rudder: Hitec 5945s

Ailerons: Hitec 5925s

Elevator: Hitec 5945s

I would do that because you want more torque on the Rudder than with just the 5925s... you want speed on the ailerons. Thats just my take on it though.

I would say you need more speed on rudder, and maybe elevators for 3D than ailerons. I would go with the set up you mentioned. I am a Kg, no oz boy, but I think that they would be fine on the rudder, as it is 31%
