Hi all. Does anyone know if the the JR DS168 and the Hitec 5125 wing servos use the same gear sets? I think so as they appear to be the same servo except for the electronics and the JR 168 gears strip just as easily as the 5125s. Could some one confirm this as I need to replace the gear sets on

I was wondering if any maunfacturer has made any plans to produce a molded plane utilizing Drela airfoils? I was thinking perhaps not because his airfoils work best at lower wing loadings/weights which could possibly rule out a molded version. I dont know. Any comments on this? Thanks, Walter R
