Default Acceptable Servo Speed and Torque

Hello

My freinds and I are having quite the debate about servo speed and torque required for my 1/7th scale warbird.

I have alot of experience with 10/th scale nitro touring cars and faster and stronger is definately better.

I am building a TF Spitfire (17th) and am wondering what speed and torques are required for ailerons, rudder and elevator. While we are at it if you have advice on what to use for retracts and flaps that info would be appreciated as well. I dont want to spend a fortune but dont want to "under do it" either.

Feel free to reply with actual servo names and numbers.

I will be using an airtronics RD6000 controller.

Thank-you in advance for your input

The servos that come with your radio will be fine. They will have enough speed and torque for a 1/7 scale model as long as it is not overpowered.

Ditto. Scale-wise, a standard servo will probably move faster than the actual pilots hand anyway!
