Servo interchange?
I'm using a JR Radio on a Great Planes L39 Albatros... i got the plane with servos only and i'm about to fly it, but I noticed the servos only go about half as far as they should.. maybe 1/4" in either direction
they are e sky 8g servos.... should i switch to 9g or is there some other problem?

RE: Servo interchange?
Make sure you dont have a End point adjustment issue. Use the appropriate manual for your radio adjust the End Points to a higher through and see if that fixes your issue.
Also you say the servos are only moving a 1/4'' inch in either direction, Is the control surface moving to the specified control throughs? Im not trying to insult intellegence I just dont know your experience level. You are supposed to make sure control throughs are moving the required distance. This is measured on the control surface (I.E. If its a elevator you measure the trailing edge of the elevator and not the movement of the servo arm. Again you might know this already just wasnt sure.
