Default Throttle Servo Recommendation

I've got a cheap HS311 on the throttle on a DL50 and need to replace it. I know it is a broad question, but which Hitec servo would you recommend using? Anything over $90 is probably out.

Hi Chuck,

My advise would be to find a cheap nylon servo for throttle (doesn't have to be Hitec) I use Futaba 3004's.
Why nylon you ask? Because nylon will take more vibration abuse than a metal gear servo will. Since it is for throttle, you don't need the strength of a metal gear servo.

That is my opinion and is what I use on:

50cc Aeroworks Yak w/ DA-50
75cc Aeroworks Extra w/ DA-85
75cc Dietrich Extra w/3W-75(TOC) Gone now due to radio problem.

I use a Hi-tec HS 6965 coreless digital on my throttle. Very fast servo .08 @ 6 volt, which is what you want "speed"
Also it has "Karbonite" gears, a type nylon /plastic i think.
Airplane is: Aeroworks 35% DA 100cc

I prefer a fast servo on throttle also. I dont want to get into a brand war but all have good ones.
