  Application(s):

  5-10 Oz. sport planes

  Comments:

  I have at least 30 of these in my planes and have purchased several hundred that I have sold to flying buddies. Never a reported failure. Good centering and durable. Just great servos for sport flying.

  Application(s):

  All my cheap foamies, and some really nice small electric RC models too!

  Comments:

  At first I was sceptical, but my confidence grew the more I used them. Loads of them being used at our club with very few failures. One failed in my Trex 450 :-( Hard to beat them for value for money.

  Foamie servos all around

  Comments:

  I've used a lot of these and have never had one fail. What more can you say? They're dirt cheap and work well.

  Application(s):

  As cyclic and tail servos in T-rex 450 clones.

  Comments:

  Excellent servo for the money! They are stong, fast, and cheap. One of things I like the most is that you can buy replacement gear sets so you can repair these servos.

  Application(s):

  Rudder & Elevator on small electic powered slow flying planes.

  Comments:

  Over the past four years I have been using 6 of these servos and have had 5 of them fail. They suddenly stop working, the motor in them develops "dead spots" on the brushes and commutator. If they put a better quality motor in them they would be an awesome servo. They have been used in a very undemanding application on planes mostly gliders that are slow flying. None have been crashed or abused, they just stop working. Very dissapointed in these servos.

  Application(s):

  Trex 450 clone (HK 450) (all channels)

  Comments:

  The price is unbeatable compared to A-brand servos. I've been using them extensively in a 450 size heli even for the tail ( with a 401 class gyro supporting analog servos). They have been absolutely rock solid so far.

  I tested the torque of this servo and reach 0,8Kg/cm and the speed seems not to be right too.
  Dissapointed

  small planes/wings

  Comments:

  You get what you pay for. Has some of them in use but after 2 died with dead electronics some died with a dead gears i just dropped them. But as long as they last they are a nice bang for the buck.

  Application(s):

  Foamy sport planes

  Comments:

  Actual weight is 10.6 grams or so. Lots of torque, plenty of speed, fully reliable. I don't know what is happening with these guys who claim these servos croak all the time; they are used all over the world in scratch-built foamy fliers under all kinds of conditions. I use them in everything from 250-500 grams, and in 400-450 helis as well. I've passed dozens of them on to people who have put them into everything you can think of. They work and work well. And for $3 or so you don't even need to think of rebuilding them; just replace 'em.

  Application(s):

  3d foamies, 450 cyclic

  Comments:

  These servos are amazing for the money! They are blazing fast, and have plenty of torque for my applications... However, one of them has a centering problem... thus my 4 star rating... But if it didn't have centering issues, it would be a perfect servo!

  -Happy flying!

  Application(s):

  Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder for all 4 of my 44" W/S scratchbuilt 25 size Combat Planes ( total weight 1.8kg - Dry )

  Comments:

  Fantastic servo best value around ..performance is great for a $3.00 servo, never had one fail in flight and they get a tough workout flying Combat...have only had 1 fail for no apparent reason ...out of a total of 22 in use...apart from those damaged in model crashes...no problem just chuck in the bin and replace with a new ones.
