| Servo'sCarl, DONT get hold of the S9206 servo's they 'recommend' for them unless you want heavy re-build costs in case of 'the inevitable'
I got three of them and in the first crash all three sets of servo gears were bust (plastic 'sacrificial') only the problem was I couldn't get hold of JUST the plastic ones, I had to buy the whole lot at £25 EACH. They are good servo's but I have a colleague who has done the same thing just on a 'bouncy' landing when his engine cut while setting up!
I'm pretty upset at lashing out over £200 on the setup (3 CCPM) to face a bill of £75+ every time I do something wrong when I could have bought the JR 'digitals' which have just ONE plastic 'sacrificial gear' and which is replacable at less than £2 each time.
Off course, you need some decent 'centering' servos which can handle the 'torque' of the CCPM system adequately and I'm not to familiar with the 'other' options out there, but if I was to do it again, I'd look into the repair costs before I laid the money on the table.
Cheers
