I run 6V, ...for two seasons Congratulations! Two seasons is a good thing, but. This is the kind of thing that has gotten us to where we are today with the 6V thing. In fact we seldom run any specific voltage for a consistent period of time in our use of the models. Barry is a

Guys, I've been running 5 cells for at least 10 years now. Faster is better... more available torque is better. I have never seen a servo that moves faster than my thumb. If my servo is faster, I can move in (closer to the servo) on the output arm (or longer horn at the Control surface),
