I just got my order yesterday. Fairly fast delivery.

Some quick observations, they don't have as much overall throw, somewhat closer to about 75 degrees than 90, they're somewhat slow, not bad though for your average parky. Although I wouldn't use them on anything fast or needing more torque than your average 5 to 15 oz. model that has an "average" speed range and no large flight surfaces. There seems to be some lack of torque.

anyone also concur?

But for less than $4 each I'm pretty pleased. They weigh less than HS55's and they're slightly smaller.

Looee

I "suspect" but realy not sure that one of thm cost me a plane,but it was my fault to put them on a fast 23 Oz scrtach built ultra stick.
i think the elevator one broke in flight and caused the crash

I've used a few, and they seem OK. Not as much throw as expected, but didn't notice a lack of torque.

Fine for my cheap, disposable foamies, but Picos for my good stuff...

I put three of them in my Slofly Micro 22 and have been really happy with the way they performed. I won't say that they're good enough for 3D flying but if you're just farting around they're more than up to the job. I'm going to build up an EPP-51 with three of them too because I made a few mistakes with the '22 and because I have a few ideas I'd like to try.

NOTE: I'm not flying 3D with either of these planes - they're just small aerobatic park flyers the way I have them setup. Still loads of fun, but not 3D.
