Lepton SERVOS

[Tuomas-88]

Hi!
Just a stupid question: What kind of servos should I use in lepton EX? I'm going to buy this building kit and I'm wondering which servos are good enough and not so expensive =) I think those three servos for to nose can be similar but which servo do I put to tail. I'm using Futaba 401 gyro

Swash: Futaba S3150
Tail: Futaba S9650

Basic cheap servos Hitech HS85 MG (DO NOT use HB's) servos work OK... For great performance the AT 94761 servo is the ticket. If you want to mod the frames a little S9650's are also a good choice.

9650 on the tail is OK but for best tail performance go with a full size 9254 that comes with a 401 gyro. It requires making a simple mod to mount it.

Hanks a lot about good advice! =)

for the gyro you might consider a logictech 6100, it is small, light and one piece. It works almost as well as a 611. Its like its made for the lepton and other mid sized helis.

I put the Logictech 6100 and its full size servo in mine. Great gyro! 401's work too though. But it's in a different league. Full size servo on the tail is a great way to go. Check out Readyheli's full size rudder servo mount kit, pricey but really sano. I had no balance issues. I can go from nose to tail heavy just sliding the battery around a bit. That's with the gyro behind the main shaft and the ESC/BEC/Reciever in front on a little extension plate. I have Airtronics 94761 on swash.
