Best Answer

The DC 9 and MD 80 use servo tabs to drive the elevator and ailerons. The flight controls are free moving and the air flowing over the servo tabs moves the flight control surface. Take a look at the elevators when the airplane is on the ground and you will often see the elevators on the horizontal stabilizer in different positions when you would expect to have them in the exact same angle. When the airplane accelerates for take off, the airflow will align them.

What is a Micro Servo?

A micro servo is a small servo. The term can be used to describe any servo that is smaller than a "typical" servo. For example a servo that is about 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.5" would probably be called a micro servo. Most servos use the same signals and voltages, so usually a micro servo can be plugged into any servo controller or radio receiver that a regular servo can be plugged into.
