Spacey, maybe I am missing some very important info but your 539 servo isn't kicking much butt as you put it-rather you're kicking it in slooow motion with that .23sec [sm=eek.gif]transit time eehh?? Not to mention if you loose a cell on your heavvvvy stock nicad pack-things won't be looking so hot.
You are missing some important info yes. I specifically said some of the newer servos when I made that comment, go do a little searching for the DS 8915, 8511, 8711 and of course the new 8900G. The 539's I'm using on this plane is bone stock standard analog servos with over 4kg of torque and decent speed. For a standard servo it kicks butt if you ask me. I don't know about your comment about losing a cell either? If you lose a cell on anything your screwed if you ask me? And no you shouldn't use batteries that has a tendency to lose cells.
