Dude, I am so glad you asked this question...
K, first, as you know, light is not always the answer. Control throw
and authority are the top concern. Launch speeds reach about 350 mph
these days with launch heights getting up to about 500 ft. So, my
recommendation is to get the Airtronics high speed, high torque hele
servo.... about 150 inch/oz at 6 volts, and awesome hold power. Oh,
and they are digi's so better put a big ass battery in there so those
power hungry servo's don't drain the pack before time runs out in the
window. For extra authority, I put my elevator and rudder servo back
on the boom as close to the surface as I can. Less pushrod flex - we
hate pushrod flex. People have been using flat carbon blades, and
carbon rods at the wing tip for the throw peg, but frankly, they are
not strong enough. Use a tent spike cut down to about 3
inches. That way you can wrap all four fingers around that sucker
for a good solid fling.
Well that's about all I have to share my friend, I am sure that even
with this little bit of information, you will be able to get it to
out perform the rest of the field before the International Handlaunch
Glider Festival in June.
Oh, I almost forgot...If you need any tape, I have a roll that you
can borrow ;-)

Looks like it's time to get back into HL... I don't
really pay attention to models or servos, but I've got
a few models laying around, and I'm not sure what
servos guys are running these days.
They're all full house models - what servos do I put
in these things???
TIA
