Default What servos in ultimate?

I have ordered a CG 10-300ARF, I would like to know what servos to use in aeilerons and use 2 or 4 servos....also any other changes or tips that need to be done to save me trips to the hobbyshop (not that that would be so bad either)Please advise.
THX..Kevin

I have an answer for ya. I do not have the ARF, but I did build the kit. I had to modify it for two servos. I do not know if the ARF is set up for four servos. I am using two Hitec 945MG for each pair of ailerons.

THX Andrew, thats a start. Is there anything else I should do this is my 1st Bipe. I consider myself intermediate(aerobatics, basic 3D). Not sure what to expect and want to fly it hard without mechanical failure.

It is set up for two aileron servos, which are sufficient. If you intend, as you say, to fly it "hard", then I would go a step above standard servos; on ALL surfaces.

Mine has Futaba 9252 digitals on elevator and aileron; not because I think the strength is needed, but because I have come to prefer the precision of digitals.

There is a picture of mine, along with a few modifications I did that I believe are necessary, on another thread here someplace. I'll try to find it...

Thx Steve, I actually had done some searching here and seen your mods already...raising some questions for me. I like what you had done. I was a little concerned over the aileron servos, read somewhere that one in each wing was best, I think I will go with some Hitech heavy duty on all but throttle, and maybe beef up the connecting rods on ailerons.
Again THX for replying, Kevin
