G'day Pete & Chris,

The 9650 will be fine for the elevator. Will be using them on each aileron too but have an S9151 for the rudder.

I understand your reservations with this servo but you need to take the glow hat off. On a glow set-up you're 100% right, the 9650 would be insufficient.

A friend has been using the 9650 on elevator and ailerons for quite some time without drama. This is on a Cyclone E and he flys the model hard in F3A. He's the current Australian Master.... He has recently switched to the BLS153 brushless servos which are the same size. Apparently they have a tighter gear train than the 9650 too and 7Kg of torque!

Cheers,
Jason.
