Getting a Topgun Topcat and powering it with a Jetcat P80, What JR servo's will be up to the task?

Thanks guys.

Any servo with about 90 in-oz of torque or better. The best would be the 8411 or 9411.
Good luck

I am using the JR8411 Digitals on my Kangaroo, At 155 oz you cant go wrong! You really "feel" the plane with the digital servos. 8411 would be my choice...

I forget what the # is but hytec makes a 107 in. oz. servo for 39.00 at most places. I have eight of these in service now and the appear to be very good and the price is right

the new Hitec 5985s should be a good cost efective servo for this application as well ...

Voy I think the HS5985 coul be good, but I keep myself out in this, cause not all gears are metal. It have one carbonite gear that keep me out to use it in jets.
