i have installed a futaba S3010 with a arm to operate the Main sail on my Victoria yacht, however in moderate to strong winds it struggles to bring in sails .can you sugest a servo that is fast and strong at a reasonable price to install instead of the 3010.Thanks

hi brian have you got a six volt  battery fitted to the radio system ? the s3010 servo has 6.5kg pull the s3801 servo has 14kg pull and costs about £54 both futaba or the hi-tec hs765hb has 14.5 kg pull at £24 .i use the last one and it works fine on six volts.ps they are a bit bigger than normal servos so check it will fit in your model .regards sammyk
