Been rainy and chilly here as well lately...I'm in georgia but it has still been cold enough to make your fingers ache a bit halfway through the first pack. Into a second pack, forget it. Can't fly so well if I can't feel my fingers.
I'm pretty much so done with tinkering for a little while with the MT, going to get it back in the air and just fly it. Just pretty much so finished setting up my raptor last night so I've got that one to play with now as well. Hoping to get a warm day or two pretty soon....

Hitec does make the HS-65 servos (hb is the karbonite gear, mg is metal geared). You can get em from amainhobbies.com (or any number of other shops) for about 25 a piece (for the karbonite geared version). Slightly more for the metal version. I use the karbonites and have yet to strip a gear set, if you really don't want to worry, do what Barracuda said and get the metal geared version.

They will plug into your receiver and work just fine. You will have to dremel or file the servo trays. I reccomend removing the trays and doing your grinding work, then test fit the servo. After you get it all working, reinstall.

With the hitecs, on the elevator servo (the one at the rear of the swash) I ended up shimming it out a couple millimeters. Used a couple snippings from one of the servo arms that I chopped off and fit it between the servo and the servo mount. Moves the servo arm towards the front of the heli enough to not rub the frame back there.
