Hitec's 5065MG is a fantastic general purpose servo, appropriate for wings in the 30-40" wingspan size class. Hitec's digital control offers unique programmability, in addition to enhancing performance metrics such as centering-accuracy. Hitec's 5065MGs have lived inside many Team-Legit projects and we have found these servos to be reliable performers!
The HS-5065MG is a micro-size (Hitec uses the term "feather") servo, meaning it's case depth measurement is ~12mm and it's weight is ~12g. Application examples would be the Team Legit Fohdy, or the Legit Wing Classic 32.
Optional Aluminum Arm
HS-5065MG comes with a set of nylon servo arms. Hitec makes a high-quality aluminum arm sold separately, which mates to the HS-5065MG's 23T-5 output shaft. Aluminum arms benefit from not only increased durability, but also increased rigidity which improves control response. This increased rigidity is especially relevant when using off-center control schemes such as ball links... common on the flying wing aircraft we love!
Hitec raised the bar by offering the ever popular HS-65 in a new digital version! The HS-5065MG High Performance Micro Servo features Hitec's digital, programmable circuit for incredible resolution, centering and holding torque; also featuring metal gears, a top-ball bearing, and at 31 oz./in. of torque with a quick transit time of 0.11 sec at 6 volts, it is no doubt THE choice for high performance micro helicopters, electric park flyers, and 1/18 scale cars.
