Default RE: GP GeeBee (engine exhaust?)

I will say this if you look at the size of the contro surfaces, they reall are not that big. This is no 3D plane. Yes you can put overkill servos on it if it makes you feel better. Even though this is a model of a pylon racer it is really not fast at all. You will find on these forums that there is always someone that will have their own standards and criticise someone for the way they choose to do it. For anyones information i did not use a 6 volt pack for the extra torque i did it for the extra speed. Now I wonder if the servo could not handle 6 volts why do they even give a spec for this voltage? Or why can your reciever handle the same amount of power? I have found that all of the 3004's I use have been more reliable then a 3010 which have 28 more onces of torque than a 3004. The 3010's gear train is so more fragile. This is just some of my real world experience and just passing on what I read here on RCU.

Jeff if you are worried about the 3004's not being enough I would use your digitals on the elevator and rudder and use the 3004's for the aileronsseeinf how the tail will see more airflow.
