Can't wait to see some flying footage of this one. Was looking at the Commander but think I'll hold off, we really have some excellent choices these days.

IMO, you made a good choice,
I know 2 guys at our club field that have the Commander.
I should say one guy now (the other one went in hard from a failed elevator servo)
I like the looks of both, but the Ryan is a scale of a real plane (I like that)
I flew the Commander & for me it was OK, but I'm glad I changed my mind about buying one (really glad, after seeing this Ryan)

The accessories needed list shows the servos recommended.

WOW
I won't be spending 120.00 on servos for this plane.

Also, further down on that list, they show Hitec HS-81's.

Looks like the only concern will be the aileron servos (thin wing, thin servo)

The hS-81/82MG are only 1 mm thicker/longer than the recommended futaba servo. I'm betting those will work fine. We may have more flexibility on the fuselage servos.

It will be nice if the HS-82 MG's will work (I have 3 of those)

I ordered all the parts needed. Now I need to order the plane.

I opted to use the HS-82MG servos.

A "Cart before the Horse" thing lol
I've done the same before

I'm not a fan of the 81s. They strip out too easily. I've had 4 that got tossed due to that. 82MGs on the other hand are a great servo per my experience.

I have the "cart" for the Uproar V2 too. ha ha

My cart has the .32 motor and Talon 90 ESC. I"ll wait on the servos till I see the measurements if they list them.

Dimensions: 1.2 x 0.4 x 1.1" (30 x 11 x 29mm)

This is what is listed as the servo dimension for the Ryan.

Understood, but quality costs. try putting a heli together these days (one of my main interests). $600 for 4 servos

Uproar v2s should be available soon, hopefully by end of week. QC takes time but is necessary

Got your point, but I'm pretty sure those 600.00 servos were used on a Heli that costs far more than 140.00.
I do agree with using quality parts, but I can get a good quality servo for this plane, that doesn't cost 30.00 each.
I just have a problem justifying spending 120.00 on servos for an Airframe that costs 140.00

With that said, if the Hitec HS-82MG servos will fit, I will use those.
