I’m a bit nervous about using cheap standard servos on this ARF, seems to me it’s going to need servos that are fast and with more torque. For the ailerons and rudder Any recommendations? I like to use Futaba or Hitec.

Thanks.

I have standard servos on mine. I believe they are the 3004's (or 3001's)? Whatever came with my 9C. They work just fine.

148's, 3001's any standard servos are fine*

Even thought this plane might be overpowered (Which engine u using?) It is still very light and fairly slow because of the thick wing-

I'm using an OS 46 FX.

Same here. Go with standards and you'll have no problem. If you really want to go more, Hitec 605's are not too expensive and might be more what you're looking for.

I have not tried any of the mini servos, but they would save you some weight, which is never a bad thing.

I used Hitec HS 225 BB servos all around in my Magic. They are light, stronger than most standard servos, faster than most standard servos, give you a little more room in the already crowded fuselage. The gears are a little on the delicate side but will take any flight load I have been able to throw at them, they just don't tolerate crash loads too well. I can't think of any other servo I would use if I put together another Magic.

I also used the 225's... on 6 volt.

They have a MG version, that would work better. Agree?

Intutively MG has got to be better. I've had no problems with the nylons in the past. <knocks on wood> I've got them on a PBF and they've held up suprisingly well.<more knocking>

what about hitec 525!!
they will give you speed, specially @ 6 V.

Do the 225's seem to center well?
