| Having tried both 5V and 6V on a 2100T with small servos (eg S3153, FS61BB etc) I can report that there is a noticable difference. The gyro will be OK at 6V, but the servos will generally suffer. Tail ... | |

| The truthful answer is... It depends...
Servos pack quite a bit into a small package. Whilst they can deliver high torque and react rapidly, which is ideal for tail servos, doing so requires high c ... |
