Rough River... LOVED that Contest. Still trying to get Geoff Combs back out to a contest. He just finished building a full scale RV-10. He's gone over to the full scale side (as has Von).

Servo's. Ok, a few things. One, any of the new 2.4 systems basically need fast servos. They don't necessarily require digitals, but almost. I have some of the older really fast Analogs and they keep up ok, but some of the older analogs (and current analogs) do not. The radio gets ahead of them and they just stutter.

So you need to get digital servos. That's the first point. As for Atx servo's there are several I would recommend. They are NOT all Nylon, but I need to know why you want all nylon. Yeah, I know the song about a tighter gear train, but that's no longer valid with ATX, JR or Futaba servos. All of their all metal servos are very tight. And with the larger control surfaces we're flying, the gear strength can be an issue. If you absolutely insist on all Nylon, I will see if nylon gears are available.

Ok, Servos. Basically for pattern there are 5 to consider.

3 of them use the same basic board and motor, with different gear ratio's for speed vs torque
94771 - Best standard high end servo. Approx 100oz/in at .12sec
94772 - Faster, but weaker - Aprox 80oz/in at .10 sec
94773 - Slower but stronger - approx 180oz/in at .15sec

For super torque

94780 - HUGE torque. 400+oz/in at .15sec

These 4 are all in standard size cases. All are Metal Gear, Ball bearing.

and finally, a great mini servo 94761 - Mini with approx 60oz/in at .11 sec

BTW, THESE SPECS ARE FROM MEMORY. You can check all of them at the www.hobbypeople.net web site.

Anyhow, I use the 773's for Ailerons, 761's for tail mounted elevators, and 780 for Rudder.
