Hello,

I am getting ready to finish a CMP 80" 50cc gasser Japaneese Zero, whos kit has been sitting for about 3 years now. This is my first large scale bird and was wondering if someone could recommend some budget minded servos for the elev,ail,flaps,throttle,rudder ect. that will hold up well in this WB. The build threads on the WB say it well weigh a little over 20lbs once completed. I'd like to stick with Futaba since my radio and transmitter are...but if it will save me alot to switch brand servos thats fine.

Would pretty much anything that has metal gears and torque in the 65 and above range work?

I found these..

The Futaba S3305 w/ metal gears, has high tork and very affordable. Would these do the job?

Thanks

yep, those will work

I use the 3305's on 6v, plenty of grunt.  I'm using them in the same plane, as well as other giant scale warbirds.<div>

Ok thanks for the replies ... Are you useing these on all control surfaces? What would you use on throttle control ?

I would use an ESC because all of mine are electric [&amp;:]<div>

Hey glazer , any suggestions for better landing gear / struts  if I decide not to go retracts ? The stock gear I heard look like twigs

Mini servo, like the HiTec HS-81. If you want to use a standard size, just use a Futaba S3003 or S3004. You don't need any torque at all for the throttle.
