Are Futaba S9451 servo's any good ?

[Ed Schummer]

Hitesh -
 
I fly 100cc class IMAC planes and use these servos primarily on ailerons (in pairs), but have used them on elevators as well.  They're fine for sequence work, but don't deliver quite the torque needed for any 3D flying.

Hello Ed,
 
What applications were you using them in and did you notice any slop after the 3 years of use ? As mentioned, I hope to use it in an Alliance on all the surfaces - do you think it's appropriate ?
 
Thanks
Hitesh

I've been using these servos and their predecessor (9450) without incident for over three years.  The only "spec" difference between car servos and others are that they are only spec'd at 6V, and the servo leads are a little shorter, but they work just fine in our applications..

Hi,
 
I've bought these servo's with the intention of using them on my ailerons, rudder and elevator of my Alliance. The specs look good 120 oz/in and 0.1sec/60deg on 6V. But after reading the towehobbies description, they described as being car servos ??? What's the difference between an aircraft servo and a car servo - just the package or is there something more ? 
 
Concerned,
Hitesh
