RE: Which servos for
Well someone help me. I think i will go with Hitecs, which battery will you recomend me:
ailerons: 5925 mg

RE: Which servos for
Ok, sorry for the delays but we try to get on about once per day, sometimes more to answer questions. Hitec are great servos and I use a lot of those as well. I've got 945 servos on all five surfaces and they are awesome. Super fast and tons of power on 6v packs. I think your choices would be way more than adequate since the digitals have even more power than the coreless versions. For instance the 945 has 151 in-oz of torque while the 5945 has up to 180 in-oz. Big difference. All three varieties you list are essentially the same servo and only trade off speed for torque via different gear trains. So bottom line is 150 in-oz of torque seems to be the top end of what the plane requires. Any more just means even quicker response on the surfaces.

RE: Which servos for
I'm using Hitec 5645 for rudder and 5625's for Ailerons and Elevators. Running a 3000mAH Lion with a 5.8 volt voltage regulator. MVVS 2.15 and tuned pipe for power. I wanted to put the servo battery in the wing but had to put something like 6 oz in the tail. Instead, I moved the battery way back near the elevator servo on the left side. I put the ignition and receiver switches on the top above the two compartments.
The servos are cheap ($53 LHS), fast, and powerful at 5.8 volts.
