I did a search and could not find posts concerning servo recomendations for the 4*60.
If anyone has suggestions or favorites, I could use.
I have a Saito 91, with a 14 x 6 prop, and use a Futaba 7C tx & rx
The build is pretty much stock, except I,m adding some balsa to the wing tips to round them a bit, the flat ends look unfinished.
I don't want to buy too much or too little servo.
Thanks for the help.
Brian

Brian, std servos will work just fine with that plane. I had a 4*60 which I sold and am now planning on building another....had Futaba S-148s but will also use Futaba 3004's or whatever JR / Hites / Airtronics has. You don't need anything fancy.

Planning on doing any kit bashing with that plane? I'm planning on removing one rib section from each panel (L & R), thus making it about a 65-66" ws....

I like the Hitec 425BB servos, they're strong, smooth, and a good value for the money.

Thanks Guys, the info helped alot.
The only bashing will be adding some wing tips, maybe 3/4" balsa blocks on each side, and sanding to shape.
I may try to make the fuse top in front removable with some wood blocks and screws, and hope it doesn't flutter in flight.
Looks like Hitec will be the choice, either HS475HB, or HS225BB both come with metal gears, they fit the pocketbook as well.
Thanks,
Brian
