Ok. I think i found my plane. Now i must communicate with my LHS that brings great planes and see what we can do for that. He also brings JR and Hitec servos. I think i will go for Hitecs, don't you think so?
Whatever works best for YOU.

I've used close to 130, 7.00/ea high torque CHEAPIE analog servos on many planes w/o incident.

Strangely I've had the most problems with Hitec's not that they are bad in any way... I just had 3 bad Hitecs over 12 purchased and only 2 bad "cheap" servos over 130 purchased.

In call cases I test the servos once installed, before flight...

e.g. resisting surface movement while moving the sticks, doing this with the engine running at various throttle settings ( this is how I caught the bad Hitecs ), even having other people examine my setup in case I overlooked anything ( this is how I caught the 2 bad cheap servos ).

I have yet to have a failure with a JR, Futaba or even a Hobbico servo.
