Scratchie, if you are worried about the torque, you will be better off reducing the control surface movement mechanically rather than using the low rate electronics on your radio. I just maidened an 81" span Val with OS 1.08 that has standard servos on the ailerons and flaps. It came through the first two flights just fine. Check out one of the on-line servo torque calculators; you'll be surprised how little torque is actually required for realistic flying speeds. here is a link http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/eflight/ca...vo.htm#formula
