Hi
80 oz is more than enough for the rudder, a standard servo would work just fine.

You're absolutely right about that being enough torque, but as I pointed out in an another thread, the SW's radio tray is designed to fit certain case sizes. It's made out of plastic with the holes already in it where you just drop the servos in and attach their screws. THe rudder servo that it's designed to fit needs to be the same size (dimensions) as like a Futaba 3003 standard servo. A good place to check dimensions to make sure the servo you have will fit (if it's a name brand servo like Hitec or Futaba) check ww[link=http://www.servocity.com]w.servocity.com[/link].

Hope that helps.
Andy
