Default RE: Servo Questions?

Yeah, Charlie is right. I've amassed quite a collection of servos, from micro to high torque ball bearing coreless servos, ranging in price from $9.00 to $75.00 each... and I have found, that for most of my applications, well, the good old standard $9.00 servo does just fine.

There are a couple of planes that I will justify the expense for, My Venus II pattern plane is one. Because of the specialized use, that plane gets top notch components, including servos, linkage, rods, and so on. The throttle is a basic $9.00 servo. The elevator, rudder, and elevator get top notch components because of what we put them through when flying pattern, and what we demand on them for repeatability and precision of maneuvers.
