Default RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF - Building

For the radio, I’ll be using my existing Futaba 6EXA-S 6-channel (with standard R127DF receiver and 4.8 volt 600mAh battery). I also have (6) S3004 ball bearing servos. From what I’ve been reading in the forums about this plane, I’m pretty sure these servos and battery are not a good match to this plane. Maybe with a 6 volt battery, the S3004s at 6v = 57 oz-in might cut it … I’m not sure. Or, do I need something like the S3305 all around (except throttle) at 4.8v = 99oz-in torque

or, maybe the even cheaper S3010 at 72 oz-in @ 4.8V .

I didn’t really plan on buying new servos for this plane, but I must have no flutter problems and dependable response (even when I get more confident with it and eventually start pushing the plane to its full capabilities).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
