Default RE: servos for 40 size Extra

I really like using 5 cell (6V) batts on my planes. I use cheap battery packs for my source for batteries.

OK, well the Hitecs I already have go to 51.00 oz-in @ 6.0V. More than enough for ele and ail.

As I've been pondering this (assuming I go 6 volts), I also thought that maybe I'll fore-go the recommended 70 oz-in rudder servo and just not do any knife edges (not a huge fan of doing those anyway). Basically then 90% of my rudder use is take off and landing. So my rudder would be also 51.00 oz-in @ 6.0V.

Only remaining concern with 6v is that my Hitec prism RX took in RFI one time when a 6v BEC was used, but maybe it was just the BEC though (I solved it by changing the RX; but don't have that one anymore).

Maybe this sounds like demented logic, but I'm so sick of buying so much new stuff for every project. Just gripes me every time

Thanks for your input
