I am using the Futaba 3150 digi's for flaps in my Trinity F3F, so I think they are a great match :-)
I have some pictures I'll send you direct. I think you can get new cases for your Volz stuff from Mr. Gordy. That new Acacia 4 looks pretty neat.....

I am having one heck of a time finding a suitable flap servo that will fit in my Trinity. Boy that wing is thin. A ds368 is a little too thick, causing a small bulge on the cover. I tried a Volz Micro Max X servo, same thing. Tried a little surgery on it, gound the hell out of the case, ended up ruining a brand new servo(ANYBODY GOT A OLD BURNED UP MMX SERVO THAT I COULD HAVE THE CASE FROM? the case is now paper thin, still doesnt fit! I used those *&%$# Hitec 5125 thin wing servos(just look at em wrong and they stop working) for ailerons because they fit, but dont want to use em for flaps. If the Futaba isnt too slow thought about using it. Thanks, Walter PS: Remember that Acacia 3M I never sold you. For a while there I thought it may be a bunk plane, but I have added a larger ballast tube, its now at 10 lbs, flew it the other day at Davenport and its actually not too slow. We'll fit another lb in somewhere and it should move along even better- if I dont blow the wings off it! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Woods" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 08:35:23 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] RE: Thin servos > Have a look at the Futaba S3150 digital's.
