Can some who has some take a pic on relation to a normal servo? Also does the control box plug into a normal servo and use your receiver power? My next project maybe perfect for this application, I will need two for slats, two for flaps and one for a spoiler.

They can plug straight into receiver or use seperate battery pack.

awesome pic thanks, how is the weight compared to a 8711?
also I have seen the one on far right before but cannot remember who makes it.

Any idea as to compared torque? I realize its not rotational torque so the actuator is a push / pull which makes it easier on the motor to achieve same result

I haven't weighed them, but are lighter than a servo.
The lado come in two sizes now. 20mm and 30mm. The 30 is pretty much a direct replacement for a 1 inch robart air cylinder. They don't have any torque specs posted, but feel very strong.
These will be great for doors, speedbrakes, canopies, slats, etc.
The far right pic is a linear servo actuator from firgelli.

Cool thanks yeah my F-14 will have 5 servos in each wing and since all 10 work either leading edge and trailing edge flaps or spoilers I think using the these actuators will do just fine I wish I had a way to check amp draw on my setup once its airborne for testing purpose. Beats the heck out of 8 8711s and 2 minis LOL Thanks for your info

Heard from lado this morning and the speed brake actuator is rated for 4.3 kg so about 151 oz of torque. Since I need two per flap servo wise I can just use two of these which would be 300 oz of torque per.
