Default Tiger 60

Hello,
I have been reading some of the other posts on this plane, but have a few questions. We are going to get my 12 year old son a Tiger 60 kit for Christmas and build it together. This will be my first kit in 30 some odd years, but I don't think I will have any problem with the build. I have 3 ARFs (Nexstar, H-9 Pulse and VQ warbird P-51D), and made a few mods to some of them. My son is pretty good with the Nexstar, and will be more than ready for the Tiger. Will be using a Saito 82 and building the tail dragger version. I read on the Tower site that the Tiger requires 45-50 oz torque servos. Can I use Futaba S3004 (44.3 oz with 4.8v) servos? Or, should I use 6v battery (56.8v)? Or should I just use 3010 (72oz) servos? I prefer to use the 4.8v batteries. Seems like 44.3 oz would be ok, but figured somebody out there would have the experience. Couldn't find any servo torque info in the (on-line) manual.
Thanks for your help,
Pete
