Default What size servos?

I've been given a 120-size Lanier Extra 300. What size (torque) servos should I use? The manual doesn't specify size.

60--70oz should be fine. 100oz would be overkill.

Keep in mind that over-kill on this plane may not be enough if you go bigger. I always buy more then I need so that on the next plane, I don't need to go back and buy more. Dennis

also keep in mind speed, 60 to 70 oz. will work fine, but if they are slow, you will wonder why the plane is sloppy when trying to learn to hover, or harrier etc... JR821 digital servo's 82oz torque and .15 speed @6v and at $25 each, quite a steal.
