Default RE: Need standard servos

Since you said GOOD standard servos, I'd go to www.servocity.com and get 5 HS-325HB and 2 HS-475HB (for the flaps):

QTY PRODUCT STATUS UNIT PRICE LINE TOTAL
HS-325HB Servo
Product # 33325S00
Rotation: Stock
Direction: Stock $12.99
$0.00 Discount $64.95
$0.00 Discount

HS-475HB Servo
Product # 33475S00
Rotation: Stock
Direction: Stock $17.99
$0.00 Discount $35.98
$0.00 Discount

Subtotal: $100.93

FREE SHIPPING, TOO......These servos will stay tight and usuable for many, many flights. It's worth the extra expense to avoid having to buy twice. CHEAP servos get sloppy quickly. Also have to figure in the cost of a crash if a servo fails at the wrong time (the only right time is during pre-flight checks). Sloppy servos contribute to flutter, and saving $30-40 on servos up front may not be a good choice. Heck, I just threw 7 cheap standard servos away - THOSE were expensive! Seven of Hitecs cheapest (311s @ $8.99 + $5.95 shipping) would be $68.88 shipped. For $32.05 more you would get MUCH better servos.
