Hi Guys,
I'm finishing off my D/F BVM F16 and all I have to do is fit the aileron servos, battery and balance it. I have two Futaba 9202's on the elevators but I'm in a dilema about the ailerons. Do I use another couple of 9202's or would JR591's be enough? What do you think?
Regards
Scott

Scott,
I'm a advocate of overkill as far as servos go. On my YA F-16, I have a pair of Hitec 5945's (180 oz torque) on the stabs, and ailerons have a pair of 5925's at 130 oz torque.
I will do the same on my BVM Falcon.
To answer your question, I think a minimum of 70 oz of torque would be ok on the F-16 ailerons. More than that is gravy.
Good luck,
Jeff
