Hey Mike,

Nice place you have here.
My question - is there a website that lists the recommended servos for various weights of planes and/or flight controls for those planes? Right now I'm into 40 size planes and I understand that any "standard" servo should be fine, but on the Hitec website I noticed for the regular flight pack, HS422 servos were offered, and it said this pack is fine for 4 lb. planes. Soon, I will be doing a few kits which will weight a little more - 1 around 6 or 7 lbs. the other around 10. Whereas, much of this information is sometimes listed on the kit, most of the time however, I think it is exchanged word of mouth. I also realize that some of this info. depends on very specific applications. Is there a webpage which lists this type of information? What are your suggestions for me gaining this information?

Thanks For Your Time,
Tom

It will give you an idea about how much torque you will need for a particular application.
