Tesla1856,
I use 3305's and never had a problem on either of my GP Super Stearman or Yak. The manual also shows 3305's. I can't see the extra cost for .05+ sec. response for the type flying I do. I'm also using a single 3306 pull-pull for the rudder over 300+ oz. of torque @ 6v.
Thanks for verifying that. Yes, it's weird that Futaba/Tower don't rate that servo for airplanes (especially since the manual shows them in the pictures). You and others are using them in the Yak, and although it's a smaller plane, myself and others use them alot in the Seagull Edge 540 (60-90 size). Like you said, as I compare the specs., the only thing I see is that they are a little on the slow side ... but it's only hundreths of a second.
I mostly buy from [link]http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Airplanes2.asp?Scale=None&Item=giantarf[/link] 3305 are 32.00 ea. and the GP Yak 54 was 349.00 and always free ship. But you need to purchase a plane or two to be eligible for club rates (get a buddy to share cost).
Excellent prices ... thanks for the tip. That might be cheaper than Tower Club prices even playing the rebate/coupon code game.
The supplied point hinges are fine. Just oil the hinge before epoxy. Also forget the tail wheel, upgrade it to a Sullivan type. I use the 120 U-Can-Do replacement for about 7.00. I did have to add 10 oz. lead to get the cg right with a Brillelli 46 but will remove half cause she flys a little nose heavy.

I took a supplied hinge down the Rebel yesterday, and compared them to real Robart hinges ... we couldn't tell a difference.
So, one of these:
