Recommended servo size for the Wizard or Monarch CX?

Are the pico size (FMA s80) servos strong enough for the tail surfaces?

Todd, thanks for the questions. The Wizard can use HS-60's for the flaperons. Some folks have tried the ultra-micro FMA S-80's on the flaperons, but personally I think the jury's still out on that, I'm not sure if they have the torque. If there is a problem, it should show up as either stripped gears or as very short battery life (stalling from lack of torque). One possibility I'd like to try if I can ever get enough S-80's in one place at the same time is to split the flaperons at the poly break, and use four S-80's in the wing. That way you could have tapered deflection for in-flight washout control, and crow for glide path and time control, just like a 2-meter or open class ship.

The 'CX' flaperons are a bit stiffer than the Wizard's, so you need something like a Futaba S-133 or a Hitec HS-80 on each flaperon.

The ultra-micro S-80's are fine for the ruddervators on either model.
