Hi Guys,

I thought that I'd put in my 2 cents here, as I just got a set of the HD2250A servos from TBM. The servos seem to be pretty strong, but I was disappointed at the servo leads used. The leads appear to only be about 26ga and I would have expected at least 24 ga or better yet, 22ga, considering the current required for a torque rating of 165 in-oz @ 6v. It also makes the servo really cheap looking...Yeah I know, they are cheap servos, but how much extra would the heavier wire have cost? The plastic servo arms are a little short for my taste, and TBM suggests on their web site that metal arms should be used, but don't say which ones to use. I've tried Futaba, Hitec and JR arms and none of them seem to fit. I'll be trying these servos in a profile test plane soon and it will be interesting to see how they perform in the air. If anyone else has gotten their hands on these servos I'd like to hear about it. I was going to use them in a Mustang and a Zero that I have in the works, but I'd like to get a feel for their performance before I commit them to an airframe that I have a lot of building time in.
