That's a very nice product and it works as advertised. The smaller 
servos are provided because that model is targeted at the airplane 
market.  They are perfectly fine for activating switches for our 
purposes.  But, if you want larger servos, you can use any standard 
servo, which can be bought for about $10 new or can be purchased used 
for a couple of bucks.
