Which servos?
Will be starting construction of my Facet 1200 soon and I was just wondering what servos you guys would recommend. This is my first turbine powered model and I want to get it right. I generally use JR gear, and, servo-wise, have nothing more exotic than the humble 517.
I'm looking for the best combination of power/speed/precision and cost. Also, would you go with 6v or 4.8v, have only ever used 4.8v so far.

Which servos?
Stuart,
Vampire, the designer of the Facet will tell you which ones. Give him a PM, very nice guy and very helpful.
I'm also building a Facet 1200 with a Wren 54. Your plans call out 70 oz servos on a couple of control surfaces. I'm thinking of using the servos I have on hand, some Fut-9202s and a couple of Hitec 5625s. I'm also going to ask Vampire what he thinks.
Later,
Jerry

. With a good breeze and little too much flap and not quite enough power on final coming straight at me, I couldn't see it got too slow until too late, that's all.The Facet is back together and will be flying today.
A "FACET FLOAT"? There's an idea :idea:
Stuart, as far as servos, the choice really is up to you. I have all digitals in mine just because that is what I had. The first one that got stolen didn't have anything fancy except a high torque digital on the elevator. But I can tell you, I could "feel" the difference in the way the two flew, being the second one with better servos made a HUGE difference. The diference not being in it's ability to fly or inadequate controls, just crispness and response. Hope this helps.
