Spektrum DS821 Sport Digital Servos

[dacostad]

I have some Spektrum DS821 Sport Digital Servos which I am thinking about using with my Raptor 50 SE that I am building and will be going into my Funkey Hughes 500E.

I will only be flying scale type maneuvers with this setup (no 3D), so does anyone see any problems with using them.

I will be running them at 6v

The specs are;

Torque: 72 oz/in @ 4.8v, 88 oz/in @ 6.0v
Speed: .19 sec/60deg @ 4.8v, .15 sec/60 deg @ 6.0v

Thanks

Hi David,

I've got the same servos and they are working in my Comeback gas mechanic. The only place, where I need a stronger servo (Futaba 9206) was pitch....

A friend had one of these fail on the elevator on his Raptor 50... caused a $200 crash. And that was pod/boom...

With the amount of work that goes in to a scaler (I just finished a TT MD500), I wouldn't even consider putting it up with less than the best servos...the difference up front is far less than the cost of even one crash...

Good advice - thanks

By the way which servos would you recommend for scale flying?

Thanks

The standard for 50 sized helis seems to be the Futaba 9252. I've got DS8311s in mine.
