Default HS 85MGs!

A slight correction on the servos in my personal FF540P. I am using HS85MG servos at all four locations and an HS-81 for the throttle. HS-85MG servos are rated the same torque as standards, weigh half that of standards and are faster. I wanted to try this knowing there was a risk. Many folks have reported mixed reviews with the 225s and the 85s. Personally I've used both flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. The HS85s have been in service since last summer and are still fine. Note that any servo taking a hard crash is going to strip gears. I saved probably 4 oz total versus 5 standards and that's 1/4 lb! Hey when you are on the extreme like me, it's a blast to try new things.
