Guys.
Looking to buy some new servo's and torn between what ones.I'm told the 9204
is the same as the 9206 is this true - diff of 15 dollars between the
two.9206 is the new version and 9204 is the old version - so i am told.
The jr will either be 8425 / 8455 / 8401 -prices vary but which is the
better , all seem similar spec etc.
The servos are for pitch and cyclic on larger models ,am currently using
4000's ,9206's , 8401's on some models and am very pleased with all.
Use to be a solely jr man( after probs with futaba servos in the past) until
recently bought 3 x 9206 for vigor eccpm and they seem to work really well .
Really don't know which way to turn so helpful experience required.
cheers

On the JR servos the 8425 is the top of your bunch having the same torque as
the 8401 but also includes metal gears.
The others have more speed but less torque.
My personal opinion would be a preference for more torque then speed at the
rotor head.

Sceadu's are prettty lightweight machines (or just above) and would happily
fly on servo's that cost a few quid apiece (3002's for example), so with
your servo's, I was thinking along the lines of "Sledgehammer and nuts". :)
