They use .25 sized engines; mostly OS LA or FX's.

Rob,

Digital servos are major overkill. I like to use Hitec HS81mg at about $18 for aileron, elevator and rudder, and HS55 at about $11 for throttle. They are all tiny, light, and do the job.

truman · 02-23-2008, 01:18 PM

I just have them sitting here is all they came with my radio but are not good enough for my heli

truman · 02-23-2008, 01:19 PM

are standard servos to big?

warsstar · 02-23-2008, 03:28 PM

no starndard servos are what i use, but 3 hs81mg's weight is the same as 1 standard servo.

Truman you can use full size servos in the Se5a there is plenty of room and as long as you put them as far forward as posible you will not have to put in dead weight to balance the plane. I put the rudder elevator directly behind the firewall and the battery and throtle in the engine compaartment and still use a heavy hub so your digital servos would help in the balance department for sure.
