servo's strong enough?
I'm about to start building my first kit, a great planes extra 300s .40 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJ579&P=7 For those of you who don't know this is not a 3d plane, much closer to a pattern plane, I'm just not sure if these servo's would be strong enough on 6 volts, [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVW07&P=ML]click here![/link] What do you guys think?

They will do just fine as others have said with a single caveat.
If you start playing around with knife edge flight you will need more grunt on the rudder servo.

I have started using the Dymond D5000 metal gear ball bearing servos. They are only $15 each and seem to be a quality product. 125 oz in and 4.8 to 7.2 Volts. Check them out at: WWW.rc-dymond.com. After seeing a friend fly with them in his helicopters I tried them and so far am well pleased.

RE: servo's strong enough?
I liked it, just remember to land it a little hot. I dont know what your experience level is but it does not land like a trainer does. Other than that it was a very responsive plane and a lot of fun to fly. I did not like the engine I had in mine,had a lot of other planes in the hanger so it now belongs to a buddy. Pretty easy build too, just a lot of shaping and whittling, like most great planes models, but it was tough, stood up to a lot of my abuse!
