Default Servo question

Greetings

I am looking around for decent servo's and am wondering if there is a dummies guide to servo's. Specifically I mean comparing brands against each other in different price ranges. I dont like the chep'os you get in that Futaba flight pack. I have a few planes that are under construction and I def dont want to use the cheap ones. Im hesitatnt in buying the expensive ones cuz im sure there are cheaper ones out there that are just as good for the job.


thoughts? suggestions?

thnx in advance

matt

Doing a little looking on Tower for Futaba and Hitec and Horizon for JR servos. They have all the specs as well as prices and what use they are intended for. Remember that the std servos work great up to about 60 size planes; above that and you are probably ready to start getting more expensive servos.

I use Futaba 148's except where I need higher power in larger models.

I have been using them for many years and currently have 8 planes flying with this servo installed. I have never suffered a sevo failure.
