If i had to buy servos right now, it probably would be Hitec 7955 , since i will fly more freestyle and 3d instead of pattern (for this i have F3A). Will see mabybe something will change till date when i get my first 3m plane. What servos you use in your planes right now?

One more q about Hitec servos, does hitec programer make reall difference, that you can feel in air?
The 7955's should do well for you. Right now in my 102" Yak I have a mix of Hitec 5945's (badly lacking torque) and 5955's. They were pretty sloppy before, but I reprogrammed them to the tightest possible deadband... HUGE difference. Turned a sloppy plane into a pretty convincing pattern plane. Definitely worth it on the 5955's. The 7955's may come pre-set for their tightest deadband, I'm not too sure.

BTW, I had the opportunity to fly an 88" EF Yak twice a couple weekends ago at a fly-in, and it was love at first flight. That's a really sweet airplane. If I ever have time/funds to put together a 50cc airplane, that will be it. Feels and looks like a much bigger airplane in the air, yet will 3D like a foamy. Love it!
