Default RE: Which hole to use on control surface horns

Look at the amount of force that finally gets out to the surface in that chart.

With the low ratio, a 40oz/in servo can work like a servo that's twice as powerful. With speed models this is a definite positive. And look at the servo arm movement. With that much movement, your TX stick is going to feel VERY precise. That accuracy is what pattern flyies really like.

Look at the high ratio. You bought 40oz/in servos, and you're realizing 20oz out of them. Dumb move. Our servos will still move the surfaces, but they'll suck the battery flat doing it. And look at the servo arm movement. You TX stick is going to feel like it ain't connected. It's going to feel like the pushrod is rubber, or the servo is dying. And it is.
