Servo choice ?
Trying to decide on servos for KMP Beaver w/Gas engine. They're all have similar pricing:
HS 645 MG
HS 625 MG
HS 5496 MG (Digi Hi voltage)
I like the DIGI Hi woltage, but mostly looking for dependability and no SLOP.
I was also thinking of water resistant servos, if they are not to expensive. Any ideas? Thanks

I've had good luck with HS485HB as well as HS605BB and Futaba S3152, S9202 and S9001 servos on my gas models - float and otherwise. Years back my R/C mentor told me to avoid metal gear servos in fixed wing aircraft (I think from the 72MHz interference potential) and I just never got into them since.
No failures yet. And no glitches, either. ;-)
Note that the 5496 you list is best powered wih a 2S 7.4v Lipo flight battery. You don't want to try that with the other two HS servos without a regulator to drop it to 6v.
