Servos
When I had this Jet I used GWS Mini at $10.00 ea at balsapr.com. Each servo weighed .85 oz with 47 oz torque.
Fun jet but not very fast. Don't spend a lot of money on servos.

On the subject of servos, take some time to make sure your servo try is glued in well. Mine had a nice hot glue fillet on the top, but if/when it breaks loose, all you can do is hold on.

YES, as Toucano said, check the servo tray (mine was loose in the fuse when the kit arrived). I used HS81's for the Ailerons and Throttle, HS85's for Elevator and Nose Gear/Rudder. Also, are you familiar (from previous posts) with the trick/tips for starting this acft ? If not ask me (or us).
Also, one thing I did that you may want to do, is to install an external Charging Jack (I don't have to take the wing off to charge it..... you don't have to mess with the pull-start cord). Bob
