Default Help with servo size.....



I am looking for help determining the correct servo size for my new aircraft. I am in the process of building a 1/4 scale GasMonocoupe 90a from scratch. I am building straight from plans only and I am needing to get the servos for this aircraft, but do not know what type or size for this size of aircraft.. Can someone give me an idea of size and type and a inexpensive place to find them......</p>

These will work for your application, won't "bust the bank" and do just fine. At 6 volts you'll get a little more speed and torque. You may find them a little cheaper if you shop around. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUZ89

look at www.servohut.com the S03T servos will work fine for your application. Strong and tough, low price, excellent service from Servo Hut! These are "standard size" 111 oz/in servos w/ ball bearings. They are not quite as "fast" as some, but plenty fast enough for sport and scale models (maybe not as good for 3D)... They come with an assortment of arms, wheels, and related hardware...
