I've got a Sopwith Pup bi-plane that I would like to replace the aileron servos on. This design uses two servos, one at each wingtip to drive the ailerons. So each servo drives the lower and upper wing ailerons via a pushrod from the lower aileron to the upper aileron.

During crosswind landings, this type of aircraft (slow flying, floater type scale airplane, about 14 pounds) has been known to scrape and/or hit the lower aileron on the runway, causing a jolt to the servo occaisonally.

I'm concerned about damaging nylon servo gears and want to upgrade to metal gears or Karbonite. I don't need anything much faster than a standard servo because this is not a fast airplane (WWI Scale). I also don't want a lot of current drain because I'm only using a standard 4.8V pack that came with my reciever, so current drain much higher than a standard servo is not attractive. Can you recommend a servo for this application? I've looked at the HS-475HB... What about it?

Thanks!

I'd probably opt for the 635HB's over the 475HB's to be on the safe side.
