You can't much cheaper than this without being crappy.

Invest in some good servos now, so you can move them into larger planes!!

Radio gears like a computer once youve bought a cheap low spec one you always want to get more out of it than it can ever hope to do. So you end up buyin another one and another till youve wasted $$it loads on crap were you should have bought the best in the beginning.

Anyone want a cheap pc? i got loads

I bought a butt load of some similar a while back and they were a good servo with respectable power and speed butt ! they had a very tiny spur gear of plastic with about five teeth which if jarred atall would strip ! I don't use them in anything that matters, but i do use them, with caution, and i test them occasionally buy gently trying to move surface and i say gently because a friend tested one for me and stripped the gear ! the gear set was only a few bucks, but i just throw them away when i'm done with them now.

I think you meant to say, "Buy from a place like you LHS, where you can get service!!"

Tower isn't going to help you out when you cant fit this or that or have a problem with your plane will they?

Worth buying a few to try out in a plane you aren't too concerned about. Not something I'd equip a 28% and up plane with and feel secure about. You won't find out about the quality until you try them. Until then anything said is without merit.

Yellowman.... and anyone else gearing up a ChinnYak, stick to a servo that weighs less than 1.5ozs for the tail. Going with anything heavier than that will result in a tailheavy (read too tail heavy) airplane, even with a fourstroke.

Personally, I like good old Futaba 3004's on 6v for my own. They do the job well, have enough torque, and gearsets are cheap and readily available at any US LHS.
