I've seen a Hades DS'd before with 85 plastic geared in the ailerons (I've been told that plane did about 130 mph when fully wrapped up). 225 is probably too big for most planes (depending on how extreme you fly) and add unnecessary weight. Plastic geared servo's don't have much slop and won't develop slop like metal geared servo's will with use.
I mostly use 85MG for my 100" planes in both aileron's and flaps. But as a precaution against the inevitable, buy a couple bags of the plastic gear replacement sets. There is a tiny plastic gear in the bottom of the 85MG's that generally will break before anything else does (i.e. don't get the flaps up quick enough on landing). The plastic set cost about $3 and has the replacement gear you will need. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Jeff Nibler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, building a standard class, built-up full house ship and am > wondering what servos to use for the flaps and ailerons(4 servo wing).
