I don't really mind paying $30 or so for a servo on a larger plane. Perhaps that's the relative novice in me, but the security of that little extra torque seems to help.

Now there are planes that highly recommend high torque right on the front page of the manual, so with something like that, I would definitely pay a few bucks more.

The Spektrum came with four very nice servo's, looked very much like the JR high torque. I'v used these on my new Seagull Super Star ARF that I am almost finished building. I picked that thing up from Horizon for $89.00 when they were dumping them a few months ago. It recommends high-torque so I am putting in high torque, except for the throttle.

I seem to recall that my Tiger 60 has standard servo's on that plane too, and it flys just fine. I did have some problems with flexing of the elevator conrtol rod when I first got it flying, but a little epoxy on the Sullivan tube fixed that problem. It was not the servo, although our instructor/chief pilot/guru/diety said that it felt like a weak servo at first, but after landing it, I grabbed the elevator and it moved in my hand without the servo moving.. voila..

Anyway, not to belabor a slightly off topic subject... but Minn is absolutely right.
