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.
Yeah, i heard that in car forum too about Hitecs. The only problem is that i never had ANY problem with a Hitec. Of course, the Hitec i'm buing aint any cheap. On the other hand, they are few compare to you. You must destroying a lot of servos, right?
For an engine, i will definately go for an OS. And i think i will go for the 4-stroke 70AX. The 46AX is too cheap to be true i can tell. I didn't expect such prices for an airplane's engine.100 dollars for the 46AX and 175 dollars for the FL-70. My OS Vspec on my car cost me 250 euro here, that's 320 dollars for you
