Maybe I'm just getting old but it wasn't even 10 years ago that the 48 in.lb. servo was a big one. We started ganging them for giant scale but they still worked well for most any 60 sport plane. How big do you think the servos were in the Pattern Planes in the 70s and 80s. Standard servos are just fine for most any sport plane up to about 60 size.
While Ihave high torque servos for some larger planes that Ihave, the vast majority of servos that Ihave are plain jane standard servos. My choice is the Airtronics 94102 servo. IMHO this servo is one of the best standard servos out there. Ilost count of how many of this servo Ihave when Ihit 50 of them, and Ihave no clue now how many Ihave. I have a set of 5 in my GPSlow Poke that has over 600 flights on them and they are still going just as good as brand new servos!!!
