Richard--whats the problem with the original servos?? I used to fly that for ALF many years back and the flaps worked fine then with no blowback !!!!

[richard armstrong]

As Bob has suggested, HS625mg are ample for what you need for this job, just don't bother looking for an equivilent from hk.

thanks all

Richard, one thing to do is keep it simple, don't over complicate things for the sake of it.

[richard armstrong]

i am keeping it simple, just with a big aircraft the servo size gets a little bigger, so 645MG servos it is, no scrimping on the model, the only servo that will not be 645mg is the tail and tail wheel servo 25kg

i am hoping to have this ready for cosford or elvington, well it will be in it primer coat at least

[Denis Brown]

Have you got your LMA test passed yet or will someone fly it for you. Regards from Sproutland
