What servo to use in my wings ??

ROBC · 08-01-2006, 12:51 PM

I was wondering what hitec aileron servos you guys recommend for my wild hare giles 202 35%? i am using only one servo per wing and want to know servo to use in each wing.Thanks for the help

The 5955's are nice servos.

333 oz of torque at 6v
.15 sec at 6v

Those would be great but looking for something a little more affordable.

JustPlaneCrazy · 08-01-2006, 01:15 PM

Yeah those servos are not cheap, I can get those for 100.00 each though if you were interested.

You interested in digital or does it not matter ??

If your going to put 1 servo in each wing....
what you don't want to say is "afforadable"

Thats the quick way to: Plane = TOTAL LOSS.

One thing about Giant scale planes... Get a deal on the plane,
get a deal on a Good motor...
NEVER... and I mean NEVER skimp on the servos... or your other two deals will become good deals on a crashed plane.

I would say.. even if you have to wait get at very least some HITEC 5945's. But the 5995's would be much better!

Lots of places have the 5955s for $95.

Running one servo on a plane that size is not a problem but you have to get some serious torque AND good centering. Cheap will equal expensive in the long run. Either it will cost you the plane or cost you ANOTHER set of servos to get the plane to fly right. The difference between a set of decent and great servos for that plane is maybe $200. Save your money and wait till you can afford great. You will be MUCH happier in the long run and the servos will last you for planes to come.

Thanks guys, I think I will go with the 5955's.

JoeAirPort · 08-01-2006, 01:46 PM

I agree with the above but there is one more affordable option: the 5645's. Are we talking about 3D or IMAC/sport throws?

Dude,
SleepyC has it right.....Never risk an airplane because of cheap servos. I always say to use high torque METAL gear servos......Standard nylon geared servos will get sloppy, and if you have any flutter...the nylon gears will "Go South"....ask me how I know!

Have you used these with success? A buddy of mine had a pair on each aileron on a 34% extra and we fought the aileron trim constantlay. They just didn't hit dead center everytime.

It is a giles 35% which only has a 93" wing span,A little smaller than a extra I believe.

The plane will just be for regular sport flying and imac aerobatics so think the 5955 will work good

obrien hobbies has the 5955 with the titaniun gears for $97.00
