I prefer oldschool for throttle. I like to use an old Kraft servo KPS-12 servo
Great specs Probably about 40oz of torque with about a .4-.7 speed lol
If you're really gung ho the KPS-14 would rock, it's got a "carbon wiper"

Just kidding of course. What I prefer to do given the $ to do it, is match my throttle to my cyclics. Then again, if you are running a Gov, which you should be in a 90 anyway, then any fast servo and I would prefer as fast or faster than my cyclic speed should work well. I'm still a bit nervous trusting my throttle to a $15-20 mini servo like some use the HS-82/HS-82mg. I've had great luck with Hi-Tec servos in the past, but given the $ I have tied up in my helis, another $50-80 for a good digital throttle servo seems to be $ well spent.
Just my 2 cents
I think i buy Hitec 65MG or 82MG to run with Align gov.What micro servo you indicate me??

I have a 9257 in a custom carbon frame saver/servo plate. I have been using it with the align gov and it works awsome. This is the best working throttle/gov system I have ever used and Ive used alot of different combos. I can post a picture if you would like.

Run JR's 890G its only 65 dollars and .07 which is plenty fast enough. For the money it can't be beat

On a 700???? That's just asking for trouble.

I had one of the JR821 servo on my 600N Pro throttle and I lost it on the second flight. Flew it until out of fuel and auto it in. It is not good flying without throttle cut!!
I am using a 8117 servo on my 700N throttle. I know it is over kill, but I love it!!!

i have heard of three different cases of this servo failing.
Post a pic to me please.About JR890 is better than 9257 or these servos are good choices and i do not failed with these servos.You do not reccomend micro servo for throttle??
