hey all,
i have yet another question! i am getting to the stage where i will be setting the servos in place within my tiger trainer MK3..................i bought 2 x futaba s2003 and 2 x s2004.............my question is ( and the guy at the LHS told me!!!) which servo to which part?
my logic would say 1 x s2004 to the engine, 1 x s2004 to the rudder and the 2 x s2003's to the ailerons and flaps???
help appreciated, many thanks!

good point there minnflyer.....should have said flaps/aileron and elevator!!! live and learn right?
so it won't make a difference? the guy at the LHS said that the s2004 where for the bits i'd use most..........my assumption is that while learning i will be using the engine and rudder the most? or am i not right????
thanks.

If you are learning, the rudder will probably be the least used in the air, mostly on the ground during takeoffs. I would put the 3004 on ailerons and elevator You will use them alot. Just my 2c

Do you mean Futaba S3003 and 3004 servos? Futaba doesn't make a 2003 or 2004.
Elevator: 3004
Ailerons: 3004
Throttle: 3003
Rudder: 3003
The 3004 servo is a good servo with a single BB supporting the output shaft while the 3003 has a bushing that will wear over time. 3004's hold up to the abuse I give my Kaos, Twist 60 and Sky Raider Mk II with no problem.
