RE: Best servos for classic planes
Ron, I used to use the JR 4000 and 8000 series servos "in the day" and for what you are looking at doing with your models, any of the NEW standard servos will work fine. I am in the process of putting together a modified UFO at the moment and looking at putting in JR DS8231's for the controls and mini digitals for throtal and mixture controls.
Cheers
