Opinions?

Which servo is better for a 40-60 size sport/aerobatic plane. Transit times and torque ratings are similar. The 3001 is referred to as a "precision" servo and is more expensive. Any other particular recommendations in this range? Cost is an issue, otherwise I would be considering the "premium" servos offered by both manufacturers.

Just my opinion but I like the hitec 425's much better. Ive had lots of them and they have all been great with strong geartrains. Some of the 3001's I have used have had sloppy centering after a while. I havent used them but for just a few more bucks you could try the new 475's. They have a little more torque

You should look at the new Hitec 475bb. They are supposed to be a step up from the 425's. Only a few dollars more.

I use HS-425BB's on my fun fly's and some .60 sized planes. Rock solid performers.
