Those are a unique spline size. What are you going to use them in?

They are total overkill for aileron servos on something like that. 3001s would do! If you are fussy, then Hitec 645s would be ample. Those are digitals, suitable for big 3d models. Warning:
S9154 Digital Servo Precautions,
-It is best to avoid long leads and Y-harnesses especially with
standard grade wires. If problems are encountered, consider using
heavy duty wire such as Futaba's Heavy Duty Series or Hobbico's
Pro Series, minimizing lead lengths, and/or removing Y-harnesses.
-Current Drain: This digital servo is specially designed for high-
torque or high-speed, therefore very high current drain is normal
at startup.
