This is a work of art. It looks beautiful as well as being beautifully made. It has no gear lash and produces very accurate positioning. It is extremely light even though it has a metal housing. It has more than adequate power for the small aircraft in which it will be used.
My only complaint is that it is not very fast. If you want quick control response on a fast aircraft, you may want to find a faster servo. Also, the DS65K is very expensive.
In many cases, I think the KST X08 servo may be a better choice. The X08 is slightly thinner and its motion is obviously faster. It costs about half the price of the DS65K.

Great servosGreat next day service (less than 24 hours) and good servos great centering
Review by: Nigel Dell
Super SmoothI decided that the model I was putting together was far too good for the cheaper servos that are around and would kick myself if I were to lose it because of being economical!
Yes these are quite an expensive servo going into an expensive model but they feel and operate in a way that worlds apart from the cheaper end servo and instill confidence that they will just work reliably with no slop and perfect centering.
So far I am more than happy with my choice they are little jewels!

These new gold label servos are working flawlessly in a DLG installation. I received them in a matter of only a few days via overseas shipping from Hyperflight. Will order again.

MKS DS65KOver the past years i have now purchased at least 14 of these servos - from the time they were introduced to current day . They have all been used in DLG models and they have never let me down. As my target is always to reduce weight in these models they have always been first choice - but also accuracy and centering are equally critical factors and again there performance meets my expectations . i should also add that i have also only ever used single LIPO power supplies (normally 650mah) and again never had a problem . As precision items they should be handled and installed with care - however the metal cases do provide a high level or protection in case of accidents . When your spending the price on DLG airframes it makes sense to ensure that the radio used is not the weakest link or reduces potential performance of the completed model - hence my choice of MKS servos --

Review by: Bruce
This must be the Rolls Royce of small servos,a lot of servo for the price.The engineering of this product is outstanding as is the performance, centring is perfect
The light weight when used in the tail of a glider helps to reduce the amount of weight needed in the front of the glider and therefore enables the mass to be moved closer to the C/G and helps the model to be more responsive to thermal activity

Bought 6, 3 move them self around the center, a real waste of money.
Review by: Anonymous
I have to say that i'm a bit disappointed with this servo. It's size and capacity are top. But today after 30minutes at the field one of them just stop working. Is completely stuck and get's a bit hot. Needless to say it was a new servo. I feel lucky my model was not in the air when this happened i was simply trimming it on the ground. Is there someone out there who experienced a similar thing? Is there a way to fix it? Any hint appreciated.

Great Servo, voltage regulator required!I have 4 of these in my Fireworks 5. They're great performers as you would expect, however I find that to get the best performance from them I need to use a 2A / 5V regulator in-line before each servo.
I did try just using the one regulator between battery (rhino 2s 360mah lipo), however this led to performance issues when all 4 servos were in use.
Altogether the best mini servo I've ever seen, but the small size and weight is somewhat offset by the need for 4 voltage regulators.

MKS DS65K Servo - 8.5mm 6.5g 2.2Kg.cmExcellent product for the money, good power and precision.
Excellent service from Hyperflight.
Review by: daniel caso
Excellent servo, really magic. So tiny, and so powerful. A little expensive but second to none on the rc market. I use it for V-TAIL in my OMEGA MINI, for rudder and elevator on my OMEGA, and for ailerons and elevator in a MAX-SPEED. Even the plastic servo arms are very strong, but you have better to buy the alloy arms.
Thanks to Hyperflight to afford us such a good stuff.

A piece of artUsed two of these in my Fireworks 4.2 - lovely little things, so precise, can be adjusted down to a single pulse from the transmitter - incredible! Center nicely, weigh almost nothing, fit anywhere, and pack a powerful punch for their size. Shame to cover them up!
Review by: TonyM
Fantastic servos, light, strong, accurate and small - needed to be thin to fit in the Steigeisen wing. Beautiful too, it was a shame to have to cover them over.

Super site, gens servieux et matériels presentes de qualités.
Delai d'expèdition par Royal Mail delai quatre jour, rien a dire super performant.

Review by: Sebastian
First bought two of these fine litte lightweight servos for my Stark DLG. They were so good I decided to get 2 more! The best perfect centering I have ever seen and no gear slop. Easily strong enough for spring/pull system on elevator and rudder. This will be my standard servo for DLG planes! They just so light! You can remove the bottom case for even lighter weight and this will not affect the structure.
