    The servo that Airtronics would recommend for that application is
    their "94141 Precision High Torque Ball Bearing Micro Servo" which
    is 36mm Long, 15mm Wide, 32.5mm High and has metal gears, a very
    small "dead-band" and a torque rating of 3.2 kg/cm. If that servo
    is too thick for you, they also offer the "94501 Microlite Servo" 
    which is 27mm Long, 12.5mm Wide, 27mm High and is specified at 
    2.0 kg/cm torque. The 94501 uses non-standard splines, so be sure
    to order an extra set of arms, etc to go with it. The 94501 is the
    smallest servo in my 1992 Airtronics catalog, it weighs 16 grams.
    The 94141 is also fairly light at 33 grams, FWIW.

    Hope this helps.
