Default Servo, What model Hitec

I have a 14 scale plane that I'm using a Zenoah g-26. What model/size Hitec servo do I need for the elevator and the ailerons? I have a HS-645MG servo on the rudder. Is that sufficient? Thanks aframe2

I'm assumig you mean a 14 pound plane,, Two 645s would be plenty of power

I was thinking 1/4 scale something?? I would be looking at some bigger digital servos for that little beast. Something in the 100 inch pound plus range at 6 volts. I would be looking{pricing} just to get an idea of what is available on the servo city web site. I do a lot of searching around for deals after I decide what I want but I always start at servo city first.

645s
Stall Torque (4.8V): 106.93 oz/in. (7.7kg.cm)
Stall Torque (6.0V): 133.31 oz/in. (9.6kg.cm)

Digitals would be better, but these are fine for a 82" span sport scale plane IMO

I'd go with two 5625s, much faster and just about as much holding power as the non digital 645s

I wouldn't be afraid to use the 645s, I have several of them. Just on a hot little plane like that I would be using them on the ailerons and go digital on the elevators and rudder. For me it's more about holding power.
Shopping around and looking for sales is another big thing for me. I love a good deal.
