Servos for F3J wing's elevons
Most of F3J flyers I know use Volz Micro maxx X or Micro Maxx XP. There is also digital version of XP but I havent seen it yet. Some are also using Hitec HS-81MG or 85MG, they are ok if you don't mind pre (every) flight servo trimming caused by thermal drift. HS-85 is much better than 81 in thermal drift dept. but it is still there, especially on flaps.
Some people use Graupner/JR 3341 (not 100% sure about the model number) and they are very pleased with them.
I saw some JR DS-386 and 361 used with excellent results. I also heard excellent results reported on Hitec HS-5125 digital servo by some Czech f3j guys.
If you happen to stumble upon some older Volz Micro maxx servos, be advised that they may have thermal drift problem. It was cured in later series.
