  • What servos for my Seagull Boomerang II Trainer plane?

    Hi all - I purchased a Boomerang II trainer plane yesterday.
    I have a TT .46 engine to go in it but rather than reuse the old futaba servos (I can't remember if they're 148 or 300something), I thought I'll just buy new ones...
    I just want decent cheap ones... and I was looking on Hobbyking and came across these:
    [url=http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__29763__HXT_10kg_Servo_metal_gear_55g_10kg_16sec_UK_Warehouse_.html]HXT 10kg Servo (metal gear) 55g / 10kg / .16sec (UK Warehouse)[/url]
    Are they good and reliable?

    Any tips would be appreciated.. I don't want servos that cost over £9... I just want the cost to be as low as possible on this trainer..
    Thanks

    futaba 148's or 3001's will be fine in a trainer plank

      Any that fit will do. Don't need torque in a trainer - you might benefit from digis for speed but unlikely. If the hobbyking ones fit the airframe they will be fine for the price. It may get the odd knock :smile: so metal gears seem sensible.

              HS 311 servo is quite good for a plane

                Thanks. That was on my list... I've decided to reuse the servos from my old plane for now and when I upgrade to a bigger plane, I'll get new servos.
