servo selections

[White, Chris]

Hi Tim,
I take the low-budget approach to servo's.....I am pleased with the
performance of the old Futaba 9201 and current 9202's which I'm flying on
Zen 120's with the Webra 145AAR/pipe combo.....and on the elevators of a
Giant Stinger with a Sachs 4.2.(22-23lbs vertical out of sight...less than a
1/2 for hovering and torque rolls).     I'm new to pattern, but not to RC,
I'm also no radio expert, but my theory is that burning fuel practicing the
pattern with good functioning equipment (maybe not the latest gee whiz
stuff....) is the way to go for guys like myself with limited resources.
Anyway, in my experience they are great, strong, and tight non-digital
servo's for the 50$ range.  I'm sure there are others, and the guys on this
list can help give you the choices you need.

I am new to larger planes as well as pattern planes.  I have flown in a few
contest but with my 60 size extra and am planning on moving into a sl-1a
that a club member is selling. I currently fly a futaba 8u radio with hitec
receivers.  I was wondering what servos you guys use on what surfaces and
what the requirements are going to be.  I don't think I can afford digital
servos though.  I am in district 5 and am planning on attending the
Springfield MO, Kansas City, Columbia, and St. Louis meets.  I am a member
of the phantom flyers in st. charles MO and have help out with the contest
for the last several years.  I look forward to meeting more great people in
my learning curve of pattern.  Thanks in advance for the info.
