Seeing the conversation about this HiTec HS-7115TH servo I thought I’d order one up from our warehouse and have a look-see for myself. Nice little unit. I’ve got no problems with the HiTec servos in general as the HS-65HBs are the ones that cured aileron flutter on my Sunracer (along with mini heli ball linkages) and I’m using one on the elevator in my Viper – over 100 flights no problem (sorry, bragging again!).

Anyway, the “7115” is nice. I fit one of the two included servo arms onto the splined output shaft and felt a little free play, but apparently it was just between the arm and the splines—not in the gear train. When I inserted and tightened the servo arm screw the free play disappeared. Same with the servo powered up – no free play that I can detect.

Wow! The servo is rather long though. Cannot say for sure, but it would probably be a little tight (span-wise) in the wing of my Viper, but I’m quite certain it would fit. It sure is slim though – only 8.25mm by my measurement.

It came with a piece of double-sided tape stuck to one side, but I have no idea what this is for. Maybe just to keep it from bouncing around in the package?

Well, here’s a couple of photos. For size reference alongside a Futaba R617FS receiver and one of the Viper aileron servo covers I molded for sebbe. It also came with a nice little mounting frame and screws—the servo sits flush with the bottom of the frame, so it doesn’t take up any more space (height-wise).

Here’s a link to the page for this servo on the Tower Hobbies site. You can view the specs for yourself;

Nice-looking servo. I’d use it in any of my speed planes.

After seeing that servo cover,i am thinking Sebbe will not be getting much sleep tell he gets his hands on them Nice work Tim.

Looks like the fancy hitecs are good for 2s without a regulator. So save $25 on a bec while also eliminating some failure points. Tower has $15 off and free shipping if you buy two. More expensive than $20 cheapies, but not as bad as it seems.

Tim, that new Hitec servo looks nice, BUT my cover looks better , when looking at the picture I could only see that cover, hehe ,,,, what servo ???

I can agree, Hitec servos are usaually good, my hs-65hb:s I have are sloopfree, all of them, even the ones sitting in planes for 2-3 years, no play or sloop and centers well. I AGREE, very good and reliable servos that are...

Damn how nice those covers are, steeling the attention of the picture to much, I cant see that servo

By the way, has anyone tried the:
Hyperion atlas HP-DS11-SCB, good ?
