Fantastic service, arrived with in 24hrs.
Great servo to replace the one I damaged
Review by: Paul
The best servos I have ever boughtI had to buy these to fit a second hand glider to replace existing ones whilst they seemed expensive but after installing them I can see they are worth it as they are super precise. Best of all they arrived next day brilliant service Neil

DS6100 servosWhen I had a problem with a DS6100 I was very relieved Hyperflight stock them as practically nothing else would do. A great little POWerful servo.
Review by: Justin Mellor
Excellent ServoThese are excellent precise servos with really good centering. I am using them to drive the ailerons in my 3.8m F5J Explorer Q. The ailerons are really big, but it seems to work very well using the smallest size servo arm 3.5mm (!) with the Servorahmen IDS. Gives plenty of travel, even with such a small servo arm.
4 Stars only because they do not work down at 1S lipo voltages, in fact not below about 4.5V. I am using them with BEC voltage of 5.3 to 5.5 V with no problem.

Review by: Toshio
good!MKS DS6100 Servo - 10mm 9.5g 3.3Kg.cm.
I live in Japan.This servo cannot be purchased in Japan.
It is a fast and sincere good shop. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irelandis a wonderful country.
I want to leave the EU and join the TPP. The EU only benefits GermanyI think so.
Anglo-Japanese Alliance again.
Review by: Kevin
Excellent service. The only servo to choose when installing elevator servo in fin, due to size, weight and quality.
Review by: Geoff
Excellent slim-wing servoPrompt delivery by Neil for a returned Bluebird servo. These are very strong and reliable servo and recommended for thin wing moulded gliders. This was a replacement for an existing DS6100 which did fail in a hard landing (stripped gear and failed motor) so nothing is bulletproof but happy to replace with the same make.

Mks ds6100 servos.These servos are now pretty much the standard go to servos for my F5j planes. Very light but plenty strong enough for both aileron and flap.
Review by: José
Just tested with a servo tester.
It works fine. Very small size.

MKS DS6100 servoGreat little servo with enormous power for its size.Not the cheapest but certainly one of the best. Usual great service from Hyperflight. Many thanks.
Review by: Nicolas
Great ServoVery good equipment, great shop, fast shipping for exportation, you can trust.
Review by: Peter
perfect ServoI use only MKS and Futabe Servos when I build up an expensive model. They are save and reliable. Esp. the 6100 is strong, precise and small.
For me the best choice for the most cases.
And I buy stuff at Hyperflight, cause prices for spares are ok, the availability- sign is reliable and the deliver asap. Also to Germany where I live.

good servoI installed these all around in my Maxa light. they are good servos.
but after only few hours flap servos need to be replaced: gear is broken. I do not recommend those for big flap. Great service from Nail!
Review by: Massimo
Strong..and lightStrong and light, if you put in flaps of a big f3j or f5j glider this frames is a big help for the gearbox.

MKS DS6100Fantastic little servo, have used a lot of different servos of this size over the years and none of them come close, there is no slop(backlash) whatsoever, speed and centering is better than anything in its class according to me.
Review by: James p. Loughran
The best servo of this size that I have found. I've used them since they came on the market and Neil gets them to me faster and cheaper than anyone here in the USA.
Review by: Massimo
uso questo servocomando su molti miei alianti, rispondono perfettamente alle mie esigenze, mai un problema, ottimo ritorno a zero ed potenti quanto basta per queste dimensioni.
Un ottimo servocomando

Review by: geo06
super materiel et hyperflight est un super site tres serieux
Review by: Richard Edmunds
This was a replacement for a DS 6100 on which I stripped the gears during a quite gentle landing.
Ordered replacement gears which Neil had to get from MKS. On arrival they didn't fit on the spline, so I cut my losses and replaced the servo.
Throughout, Neil's service was A1. Bit disappointed with the issues with such a premium product though - hopefully I was just unlucky. Thanks once again Neil
Review by: Arthur Ott
MKS DS6100 ServoI used this type of servo for Flaps in my last model and have been very pleased with them. I am now building another model the same as the previous so have purchased this type of servo again. They are used on Flaps and Ailerons of the 2 metre Glider. Possibly overkill for ailerons but I regret not using them on the first wing as the cheaper servos that I used buzz even though they are lightly loaded.
Review by: Kevin Caldwell
By far the best of the sub-10g servos. Very powerful and very precise. The DS6100s are easily a match for most 25g servos.
Servormances testing shows great centring, holding accuracy, and torque.
I am using them for the tail surface servos in a 4m Maxa, and they easily handle the large rudder and full-flying stab.
Amazing servos in a tiny package.
Review by: geo06
super service expédition rapide,les servos sont au top petit leger et bien bien precis !!!!
merci hyperflight !!!

great servo, no slackVery small & light, yet strong and most of all: exceptionally precise! Great buy :-)

MKS DS6100 servoGood quality servos, bought four to use in the wings of a Sunbird 60.
Excellent service from Hyperflight, good price, very fast postage, excellent communication too.
Review by: Andrew Duncan
I am utterly gobsmacked at these servos. The deadband is almost non-existent. One click of trim moves it, and one click back moves it back to the same spot. Makes setting up surfaces a pleasure.
Still to fly with them in my Prodij HM, so I'll update afterwards.

Very fast and precise servo with high resolution. Works as expected.
Review by: Danny Chapman
ExcellentI replaced the aileron servos in my Notos with a pair of these (regretting my original choice!) and am very happy with the result. Really powerful, small, pretty light, centre perfectly and have no slop at all. Looking forward to getting them in my TopSky too.

I've used quite a few of these and found them to be accurate, reliable and very robust for their size. Service from Neil was excellent, thanks.
Review by: Paul Gibson
ExcellentI have used these servos before and they are excellent, powerful yet light. Ideal for tail servos in electric gliders. They are going into my electric Maxa.

Review by: Nik
Do not pair MKS DS6100 with CC 10A BECDecent power servo for its weight and dimensions. However, I had problems initiating the servo when powered with a castlecreations 10A BEC. Left aileron would not move at all while the right one was working ok. After a couple of restarts it would finally initialize.
I changed the BEC and everything is fine ever since.
Review by: Arthur
Great servoVery pleased with the quality of this product. Extremely smooth action, good centering accuracy and very compact for it's torque. Even the plug has a satisfying feel of security when plugged in.
A minor but equally pleasing aspect is the quality of the packing that it comes in. This includes a firm foam that I felt could be used for mounting the servo in some situations.
Review by: Jurek
I really like these servos. I use them for ailerons F3K models and for V-tail in F3F class models. I would recommend it
Review by: Bernie
Not the cheapest servos around, but I have always believed you get what you pay for, small - light - powerful, would be nice to have side mount lugs as i like these for wing mounting for alierons

Fast delivery, many thanks hyperflight !
Review by: Laurence Campbell
Nice servoUsed one of these as an elevator servo in my Fireworks 4.2. Excellent servo, gives movement resolution at the level of one digital pulse. Centers perfectly.
Review by: Joel Messmer
A very good servo - almost as good as the legendary DS6125... In my MAXA-4 I only have DS6125 and DS95, but in my Supra Pro Competition Spread Tow I decided to use only the DS6100 in the wings because of the weight. Vertical down from a height of 280m (vario measured) is no problem for the DS6100!
Review by: Alek Balara
No supportI bought the servo and I broke it. I asked twice about possibility to get replacement gears but this time the seller is not hearing me and I get NO reply.
I find this ignorance attitude not very appropriate.
HyperFlight Reply: We are very sorry, but we don't have time to answer every email. We did finally get back to you and do now stock replacement DS6100 gear sets.
Review by: Alek Balara
Bought two. Great service and quick delivery. Servos are good. I would use this shop again. Thank you!

Very Strong PerformanceIdeal suggestion for my Blaster 3 thanks
Review by: Peter Mitchell
I wanted to save a bit of weight in the tips of my Elektra 3.5mtr F5j model. I was going to use Hyperion DS09 which I know are sufficiently powerful . But was concerned that the gear train may not be robust enough to withstand the occasional sharp knock as I previously had one fail on the rudder of an AVA after I accidentally kicked it.As my ailerons do seem liable to receive sharp knocks, I thought the thicker and more robust looking metal used in the gear train of the DS6100 would be more suited to the job. I have mounted my servos into the wing with 30min epoxy after first wrapping them with heatshrink.
They are more than powerful enough, center perfectly and are very smooth in operation from one end of travel to the other.
It's too early to comment on wear/slop, and they do occasionally buzz (like all digital servos do), but so far they l look like a very good choice and I plan to retro fit them in my other F5j models, a lighter wingtip is always a good thing.
