To make sure steering is reliable, you will want to use a standard size servo that is powerful enough to manipulate the rudder. In this video a FT 0 10 is shown. It has a uniquely sized servo that is quite fragile but is expensive to replace. Even though a smaller servo can fit in easily, it just doesn&#8217;t have the torque to turn the large rudder. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-1246x935.jpg 1246w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-675x506.jpg 675w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/rcpress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210608_135626.jpg 1373w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The stock servo mount is not big enough for a standard servo.
