Servos
Servos are within the most important parts of a model and because of the sum also one of the most expensive. There a countless numbers of different servos on the market and to help the one or other in his decision, I wrote together my experience with the ones I used.

Name: DS-238MG
Manufacturer: Corona
Sold by: Hobbyking
Gear / Type: Metal / Digital
Meassurements: 29x13mm
Weight: 22gr.
Price: 6€
Installed / Faulty: 5 / 0
Note: A very strong and exact servo. The rudder horn has unfortunately a little bit play, the play in the gear is average. The fixings needed to be treated with care, screwed in they are strong enough, but if the servo is moved, there is a risk that they can break. With 1,5A max. they also draw quite much. However, a good servo with some weak points.

Sold by: Hobbyking
Gear / Type: Metal / Digital
Meassurements: 40x20mm
Weight: 66gr.
Price: 17€
Installed / Faulty: 1 / 0
Note: A real good servo, very strong more or less play free. Convinced me all along the line and because it is used in the TA05 it also must show that it works under hard circumenstances. I can only reccomend it.

Name: C5077
Manufacturer: JR
Sold by: Graupner
Gear / Type: Plastic / Analog
Meassurements: 38x19mm
Weight: 40gr.
Price: 17€
Installed / Faulty: 17 / 0
Note: THE standard servo over decades. Especially in nitro planes it is used very often because it is known that the vibrations will not harm it. not the strongest or the fastest, but nearly play free, exact, strong and fast enough. Allover, for 17€ you can't say no to a well known brand like JR respectively Graupner if you haven't any special requierements.

Name: DES 708 BB MG
Manufacturer: Unbekannt
Sold by: Graupner
Gear / Type: Metal / Digital
Meassurements: 39x19,5mm
Weight: 54gr.
Price: 30€
Installed / Faulty: 1 / 0
Note: A well priced, but strong digital servo of a known brand. If it comes to a worthy model, then you trust well known brands more then HK. Certainly, in this price area, there are no reasons to go for a HK servo, because the 708BB MG has a real good price / performance ratio. More or less play free, very fast, very strong, and also the current does not go too high. If it will also show as absolute reliable, then I only can recommend it!
