I'd love people's opinions on some servos for a racing glider. I have read about 2 types of servo that I am not familiar with and wonder if people have experience or opinions of them.
Has anyone used Hyperion HP-DS09-SCD servos?
Or has anyone used MKS DS470 servos?
Any other suggestions for servos for a 1300mm fiberglass 900g glider doing approx 130mph?
Thanks,
S
Although I have no experience with the servos listed they are high quality and I can recommend a couple alternatives that I have used.
TS 1014
(not digital but very precise also known as dymond D-60. Was benchmark before the digitals came along)
TS 6011
(I've used a couple of these. Powerful, great center and holding power. Would defiantly buy again. Quite possibly these are the hyperions!)
Both available at Icare

I have used DS09SCD in several DLGs. Good servos but I suggest you do some testing before gluing them into the wings, There have been some bad ones from time to time.
Note that the SCD is a carbon/plastic gear train. There is a metal gear version (AMD) but like almost all metal gear servos it has more slop than the plastic gear one.
D-60 was the standard wing servo for F5B for a long time, I also have used them in DLG wings with good results.
