The servo in itself isn't necessarily a bad choice : control forces are very
light on MCRs. But I'm sure the CONTROL BOX is crap.

Do you mean your servo is a non reversal type, with a drive screw or
something ? Or do you still need power applied to hold position, like
ordinary servos ?

I'm sure you made a good choice.
Europas and MCRs are the two top kit sellers in France. The MCR two seaters
are outstanding performers at 230-250 kg empty, while the four seater is of
more conventional dimensions with 360 kg empty and 145 kt cruise on a Rotax
914.
