Default mini servos versus 1 standard

Would two mini servos with 25 oz. torq. work for a split elevator. If i went with the single standard it would only be 45-50 oz. any way. this is for a 30 size yellow aircraft cap 232.

You cant just think of the torque rating in the decision of a servo... The vibration of the surface would Destroy a mini servo in a 60+ size plane.

But for a 30 size Cap, I think you will be plenty fine.. Good Luck

frind of mine has an HS 225 on each half of the elevator on a Funky 60 Giles 300. No problems there. He also but HS 81s on a WM 40 Cap 232. They stripped, and then he went to metal gears and they were fine.

Been using two Hitec 225bb on the elevators of a 9 lbs MK Laser 200 (OS 120 powered) all season with no probs. If in doubt about the geartrain holding up, go w/ the metal geared version.
