Default Blue Bird Brand Servo

Hi Guys

Has any one heard of Blue Bird Servos? The BMS-375 digital Micro to be exact. I crashed my Belt CP into a plastic flower pot yesterday and wiped out 3 of 4 esky servos and the esky HH gyro. I would like to replace all servos with Digital ones that don't cost a fortune.

I have heard of them, but never used them.

newbe here
well I used blue bird servos on my RC buggy.
and IMO they did not last very long.
so I would not trust them on a flying heli.
since because of a bluebird servo I used for throttle gave out with out warning.
and went full throttle to a chain link fence.
but of course I was just trying to be cheap and buy cheap crap.
sorry for my rant but I learned my lesson the hard way.
Its all Hitec or Airtronics from then on.

The Hitec line works well..... I use HS 55's for alot of different applications. Cyclic servos on heli swashplates and ELE and RUD servos on planes as well as AIL servos on planes too. The HS50 is a good quick little servo but may be just a little underpowered for a belt CP. Not having one or even seen one I can't say........ I would never hesitate to use one on my HBK2 tail....... The HS 55's can be had for around $13 and the HS 50 is about $22.
You can also get replacement gear sets from Jag Hobbies for the Esky 8g's......
