    Application(s): Thunder Tiger E325 Tail & HK450 Tail

    Comments: Have one on both my 450's, the tail locked in great and have never been lost. Been using them for about 1-1/2 years with no problems. I used to have a Futaba 9247 on my E325, which works great but these are Align servo is much cheaper.
    Used the servo with a GY401 on the E325 and with a KDS800 gyro on the HK450.
