I have Futaba equipment. What servos do you guys suggest. I'm new to the big stuff.

I would recommend 9202 and 9303 servos.

I have Hitec 625's and 645's on mine using a futaba 8u. They are plenty IMO. Run them at 6 volts for the extra torque and speed

rdcracer, while I whole heartedly agree with adrian, you can have overkill. Using JR8411's will give you the bst reponse you could possibly ask for in a plane. THe question is will you be able to tell the difference in flying between a top of the line digital, a low cost digital, or a good coreless servo. If you can, then go with the best you can afford. If you can't, get a good coreless. My skills do not require me to use digitals. If this means that I am not good enough, then I will agree.

Default Hitec...

Hitec 5945's would also work well. I love mine.

Geist - have you ever flown a plane with good digi's in it? if so could you really not tell the difference? Not trying to flame here, I am only asking cause I just bought some 9252's for a Cap 232 - and I have never flown digi's but I guess I bought into the "hype" I hope I'll be able to tell the difference. I could tell the difference between the S148's and the 9202's - woudn't the step up to digi's be the same?

I have never had a plane in which I have changed servos from what was originally installed. I have flown two planes of the same model and make with different servos and to me they flew the same. The difference was the engine Brison vs ZDZ and the other was digitals versus coreless Futaba's at 6 volts.

I could not tell how one responded better than the other. Now, with that said, I can tell the difference between 9202's on 4.8volts versus 6.0volts!

As a side note - I'd be interested in your observations of those two engines - what size, which performed better and why?

The ZDZ had more power for about the same or maybe a little less weight. The planes were balanced about the same but what I noticed differently was when doing a "Cobra" (I think), the ZDZ (lighter) responded more quickly than the Brison.

Hey Dude,

Try the HS-645MG from Hitec. Not so expensive. The have a torque of 9,6 kg/6V. Thats twice the minmum

I finally broke down and bought some digital servos, but they aren't the super high-end servos. I doubt that I will be able to tell the difference between the digitals and the JR 4721s I own. The digitals were a tad cheaper than the JRs mentioned (Hitec).
