I have a Knife ARF and Irvine .53 on the way. I'm trying to decide on the flight pack now.

It seems like Hitec HS225bb would be a good fit. They have more torque than standards and are faster, lighter.

Anyone try this before or have a better idea (opinion)?

Thanks,
Justin

Many-o-discussions here about servos, those in particular (do a search). Some people love-um, but at least as many seem to hate-um! I've tried them and think they have there place in the hobby, just not on a fun-fly's huge controll surfaces (great throttle servo if you allready have one, but I wouldn't spend the money). Main reason you'll find for this is there gear train is too fragile, even m.g. ones (any mini servo will will be fragile) , unless you want to be constantly changing gears, I don't, I'd rather be flying. Also possible centering issues.


My personal choice for ff servos (I have a knife), is futaba 3003 or 3004's. There light (for a standard) durable, cheap and reliable.


I here airtronic standard servo's are stronger than most, cheap, reliable, durable.....

well, I am flying Hitec 225's in my Sudokhoi, and absolutely love them. Make sure you get the MG ones and not the BB ones. Those will strip very easy. Ask me how I know. Get the Hitec 225MG's and have fun. Save some weight too.

I'M with jive...must have 24 of em...never a problem, even after a crash in the lake

I have tried them and they usually fail. I am at the point where all I will use is Airtronics standard servos, I have never had one of them fail. Jeff Williams

which ones are those Jeff ?
