You may run out of room in a hurry! The plane is pretty small so I would suggest using micros....if cost is a concern you should check out the servos at www.his-hershobbies.com The waypoint and the bluebirds are very cost effective and very very good quality!!! They offer quantity pricing and great service.......

I have most of the different versions in several of my planes and am MORE than happy with the quality.

Mini needs small servos along the lines of the hs81 and hs85, I have mgs on all surfaces. The surfaces are too big for true micro gear, like the hs55 (IMO) if you get that thing moveing the micros won't hold it.

I love my Mini, I'm veryt surprised at how much fun it is at such a small price!!

Yep, Gordo is right. HS-85MGs or HS-81MGs are good. I stripped out three sets of HS-81 nylons before changing.

I had a small .15 model using 4 standrad servos-one for aileron, elevator rudder and throttle. It hovered well, but was quite heavy, because of the engine (I don't know why but it is about 80g heavier than a standrad .15 motor)- it weighed 900g. If anyone would be using mini servos on this and a normal weighing motor you can easily shave 135g on servos and that 80 on motor. Lighter battery back would shave another 40g or so. Summin it all up you an have a .15 plane weighing 650g!!!!! But that wasn't the point.

If you want plans of my model, which could easily pull out of the hover with your .25 just PM me your mail address.

That's a strange post in a thread about the EF Mini......

Anyway, there were 5 of these in Littlerock at the big S.M.A.L.L. this weekend, we really tore up the sky!!! The more I fly it the better I like it. One was dorked half way through the second day and folded in half. Both Razorback and I flew ours right to the end and withing 10 minutes of each other was had mild 3D landings and dropped our motors. Easy fix. I took the landing gear off after it broke for the 3rd time.

It's built to fly, and it does that WELL!

Not exactly. His first question was if he could use standard servos for mini 3d. And I wanted to send him plans of a model which could hover using .25 motor with standard servos
