Throttle servo

[Michael Ramsey]

I've used the HS-55 for throttle on a .40 size Ultra Stick. It never failed, but I became less happy with its control authority, and it's tolerance to vibration was suspect. Meaning it's ability to return to the same place in relation to the throttle stick became less reliable. 

On my .25 size models it's worked fine.

  OK guys I have a newbie question for all of you. (ya'll for you southern boys).

  I'm building a 60 size Desire for Sportsman class and am planning to put a .75 size engine in it.  I have Hitec HS-55 Feather servo for the throttle.  It has 18 oz/in. of torque and I was planning on mounting it just behind the fire wall.  However, since the recent discussion about mounting on the engine mount I may re-think that.  The question is this; is this servo going to handle the job or is it just to small for what I want to do?
