<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Hey Fellas, I sent an e-mail to JR, Spectrum, Futaba, and Hitec to find out what their recommendations would be for servos for the Byron 51. These are the responses I received. The Hitec flight package is around $1000.00. Seems a bit high for a flight package (not including any batteries) but I have no clue these days as to what is in the market and just how much I will have to spend to safely fly my 51. I don’t want to take the cheap route just to save money but I also don’t want to throw money away on something that is just overkill.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Would you mind giving me your opinions and recommendations for what I want to accomplish. The servo world has just gone off the edge and I can’t seem to find the answers I am looking for online. I didn’t realize so many different options existed. This is what happens when you take 15 years off from flying RC.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Thank you for any information you can provide.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">

The JR retracts are 4.8 volt only so if you run a 6 volt
battery pack you will need
to run a regulator to an acceptable 5.2 volts.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Thanks,</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Kory</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Product Support Team Member</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Horizon Hobby Distributors</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">4105 Fieldstone Road</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Champaign, IL 61822</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">877-504-0233</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">
