Mike,
I'm outfitting a 30% Carden Extra.
I've got a 27% Edge, which I fly HARD, and it's got 605BB's on the four corners and 645MG on the rudder. No problems at all.
For the 30% Carden, I'm being told to use (by Dennis at Carden) 120 in-oz servos. I think it's mostly from his reaction that I was going to use Hitec instead of JR or Futaba servos.
Honestly, I think the plane would be find on 605BB's, but the plane is a little bigger. Anyway, I'm looking at 5625's for ailerons and elevators, and 5645 on the rudder. But I've also been looking at 945's all the way around too.
What's the advantage of the 5625's over the 945's, Digital vs. Corless - or vice versa? What about power requirements and receiver battery life?
Lastly, does Hitec make a charge switch similar to the JR charge switch?
I'll be buying soon - would appreciate some help. Thanks.

I would personally use the 5945's all the way round... maybe a 5735 on the rudder for extra authority but as jemo said the 5945 is fine.
As for the comparison of the 5625 and 945... they are somewhat similar in performance as the digital curcuit adds a lot to the performance and resolution of the 3-pole motor. However, the coreless motors have always proven to be more reliable in the long run. I am not saying that you should not use the 5625's because many people do, I'm just saying if it were me I would use the coreless, digital preferably, in that size plane.

Thanks for the help Mike. I'm going to have to sell one of my kids to afford them... but I'm leaning toward the 5945's. Maybe one this month, another next month, etc....
