You watch as soon as everyone body realizes how good of a servo this IS the price is going to skyrocket. One year ago I bought one bluebird servo there top of the line brushless servo. Cost me $89.00 today that same servo it's going for $150 the last time I priced one.?????
Looks like we had better get them while they are still $80 i belive.

I like 'em "BIG"!
Anyone have a number for contact? The only problem I see with them initially is that they are not programmable. Which would be an issue for some of my setups. Example: two servos on the same channel that would need to rotate opposite of each other.
 
As I am reading , the servos do look good but because one part of the information absolutely not true, then I wonder how many others are not true, please have a look on the assembled servo picture , it shows 6 cover screws , which is great but look at the other picture , the screws go nowhere, they are fake screws to give you the impression they are very stiff

Interesting.
I have bought at least 50 or more of John Beech's servos, all models. The ones you are looking at are excellent. Very quiet, no buzzing, excellent centering. Plus Joh is a great guy, he stands by his product. He just came out with an adapter plate that will let you use his mini servo in a standard cutout, neat idea. Call if you got any ?s.

I too have been using Jon’s red
“39$”
Servo I’m at least 4 new builds and I have had nothing but excellent results,plus Jon is #1 in my book for client support....so much so that he’s taken much of his time to personally consult with me on many other RC topics than a sale or support of his servo Buisness...Jon has opened my eyes and mind to the detriment of Y-harnesses....long servo extensions...
Problems with running switches
Etc,...etc...annnnnd ask him about his 2200 7.4 V LiPo reciver pack with 2 battery leads ?
I don’t get most people.....here’s a guy....just like us...a modler....a hobbiest,and who to know better about what we as RC enthusiasts need than a guy out flying his models just like us....and no matter what forum
I see a thread about pro modler Servos there’s at least one....usually more...perfect
A-hole trying to shoot this guy down....tell me what’s wrong with this picture....they (Servos) aren’t some offshore crap,the guy(Jon) a
American dude...who’ll take time to help...as much time as need be....I mean come on....and 9 times out of 10 the A-hole lodging complaints has never even held one of Jon’s Servos
I care deeply about doing things safe and in a manner that promotes the fun we can-should be having with each other and our planes or what have you....and my experience with Jon beech and Promodler has been nothing short of amazing...oh yeah and I’m sure when and if Jon sees this post he’ll have no idea who I am....point being
I’m no one special in this hobby..not a fancy factory pilot,don’t write s fancy blog...I’m
Just a nut job RC guy that’s lucky to get my plane up and down in one piece....and Jon will help anybody regardless of whether your buying or BSing
Oh and by the way I’ve been in this hobby since 1983,seen a lot of things change and these Servos are the “cats pajamas”
