Fernando, these covers do fit bigger servos than HXT500. I have models with wings where the servo is just about flush with the wing surface, and with HK15178 and HK922MG servos (9g servos compatible in size with HXT900) these covers work perfectly, I have a mm or so of margin to the servo arm at the topmost position.
Are you saying that product IDs OR020-00202 and OR020-00203 are invalid? They work for me, I get two larger sizes of servo covers when I search on the HK site for them. Don't they work for you?
Ah, I see what you mean, they are not included in the servo accessories, only the smallest covers are. Well, someone mentioned S3003 so I just substituted a 3 for the 1 in OR020-00201 and then tried with a 2 instead of the 1. Lucky guesses! :-)
Ah, now the lottery is on again! :-) Well, like I said, I have 9 gr servos (HK15178) on my Bixler 2, and these servo covers (i.e. OR020-00201) fit the protruding servo arms for aileron and flaps rather precisely, it's just a mm or two of margin between the servo arm (when it is at its highest) and the servo cover. I would imagine that a 20 gr servo has a little longer servo arms than a 9 gr servo (I don't have any 20 gr servos so can't check)? So I would try these covers: OR020-00202. It says they are for 17 gr servos, which sounds pretty close to 20 gr (I'm speculating here, mind you!). The next size up is the OR020-00203, but those are for standard servos (26 gr to 55 gr), sounds way too big. HTH
I got correct covers for my 9gr servos, 6 pairs, all good so at least I'm happy! :-) That is, I haven't suffered from the size lottery, I got precisely what I ordered (OR020-00201).
How big is this trainer...if its 60" or bigger you shouldnt use a 9gram servo, not enough power....standard servos are fine ...just cut the covers so the plastic that shrouds the servo horn hole is removed...will work.
Finding the right servos to fit mite not be the correct servos for the job. It would be great if they made a servo cover for every servo, but, we don't live in a perfect world. The best thing to do is find the correct servo for the job and make the covers fit, how you do this is up to how good your ingenuity is.
Anyone know how or where to get the one to fit the hxt 900 servos? thats what I need them for. Good thing I read the reviews first!! Thanks to all the HK Customers!!!!
To be exact the weight is 5,5 grams, the four screws not included. Dimension is exactly 39,8 mm x 39,7 mm. Tolerance good enough? :-) cheers from Malfamartin :-)
HC say 20 gram, thats 10 gram a piece. Size 40 x 40 mm

The covers I received were made very well and seemed to be well engineered to fit the HXT 500 servo only . I wanted a cover set to fit my HXT 900 and HS 55 9gr. servos there isn't a way to select the size you need. There are 2 servo covers in one sale unit and they don't include the screws necessary to complete the install.

The square section is 40mm*40mm. The ovoid opening is 10mm high * 9mm wide. It fits a HXT500. The HXT900, HS-SS, etc are too big.

For the price they are really a bargain, but they are too big to fit 9gr servos. The couple i have received fit very well hs81 size servos. Please HC divide the servo covers into several items so that people can choose the cover they want without the need to hope in luckyness for getting the proper one.

The covers are fine, although no screws included. They would get a 5 star rating but... There are 3 sizes and the size you get is a lottery. on my first order i got the micro version for HXT500 servos. I liked them and ordred more for a new plane - this time I got covers for std servos. The different sizes should really be offered separately.

the servo covers I received are 50mm X 50mm and appear to be for standard size servos not 5g or 9g servos while I like the covers they are not what I thaught I was getting thus reason for 3 stars. They could be used by cutting the posts off and using double sided tape to mount the servo to the cover
