I fly an R30 with JR & Futaba servos but am thinking of switching to Hitec.

As compared to JR & Futaba, are you happy with the Hitec servohorn selection? Is enough arm length available?

Similarly, are you happy with the Hitec servo case dimensions, i.e. how they fit in servotrays of currently popular helis.

TFAH.

R-30 with Hitecs

I have been flying my Rap 30 with Hitecs for two years and about 25 gallons. No problems at all except one gearset stripped in a crash ( one of many ). I have HS 545's on Cyclic and Collective, with HS 525's on throttle and T/R with a GY 240. At less than $30 ea, I feel the performance and value has been outstanding.

Never had a woof either, but I do keep the control system tight by gluing the bearings into the blade holders and using a tight, aftermarket washout base. I use SAB F/G blades mostly, but switch to stock woodies if I'm trying something risky.

most long time pilots don't use hitech, heli pilots anyway.
