Servo requirements for beginner heli
 
I'm getting a Century Hawk IV for Xmas. :D
I'd like to get opinions on the servo requirements for a beginner setup. I've heard that the tail servo should be selected for speed and accuracy and the cyclic servos for torque but what are the minimum specs for each?

Is the following good enough?
Cyclic x 2 Torque 47 oz/in speed .17
Collective Torque 47 oz/in speed .17
Throttle Torque 43 oz/in speed .20
Tail Torque 47 oz/in speed .17

Thanks,
C.P.

I personally recommend (if you fly Futaba) 9202 servo's on everything but the rudder. Spec- Size0.79 x 1.59 x 1.40 1.70 Torque-69.5 speed-0.22

FuryFlyer,

Thanks. What would you recommend for the rudder?

The Futaba GY-401 with the 9253 servo.
