As fare as servos go I talked to 2 guys from Hitec that fly at my feild They both dont recommend any digital servos because the technology isn't that good yet. That is from a tech and a sales rep for the company. They said to put 945 on the rudder 925 on the elevator and 545 on the ailerons. the 900 series of servos are their best servos.

I'm installing a ys 120sc, Those servos above, Graphtech gear, Mejzlik 16x8 prop. Man after this plane is done it sure is alot of money :-)
