Very similar to a Pike Superior but only with V-tail. Same airfoils in the
wing but slightly different wing shape. No UMS spar and normally not full

Yes the DS368 have been a nice servo for many years but will get sloppy
after a while. Changing top case works but the new version with ball bearing
will solve it permanent hopefully. In Europe it is called DS3068. Probably
the most used servo in F3X planes on competition level world wide.
