<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I'm interested in feedback from those who are using the 8611 or 8611A on a 2M rudder. Is that extra torque as compared to an 8411 class servo really buying you anything? I'm always reluctant to go to a metal gear servo, although the 8611 is pretty low on slop as MG servos go.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
