Sounds good, maybe I'll suck-em and see. Interesting about the ESky servos being so similar to Hitec; they're available on eBay very cheaply so I could try those too.

I'm a mature* student in the final year of an engineering degree, don't see much of the inside of the union at the moment unfortunately My helicopter's about the only thing that gets me away from my dissertation

Thanks for your replies!
