I have a sonar mounted on a panning servo, and I just bought an
el-cheapo Cirrus CS-50. (It is functionally equivalent to a JR/Hitec
JR-507 or HS-300). It works fine, although it is a noisy little bugger
(but other servos don't seem much better). It has enough torque to
move a transducer around, and has a decent transit time
(42.3 oz-in and 0.16s/60 deg at 4.8v). I say go for it.
Cheers, Skye.
