<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently switched from a 60oz/inch,
0.22sec/60deg digital servos in the ailerons (JR 3301) to 80oz/inch,
0.10sec/60deg digital servos (JR 8417). Also, the 8417 weighs a full ounce
more than the 3301, so I added two ounces of weight, and they cost quite a bit
more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I noticed a small improvement in
rolling response, but a large improvement in snaps. The plane will get up
to full snapping rotation speed much sooner (especially on the P-03 45deg up
snap, where the power is on and speed is high), and stop rotating much
sooner. The difference is probably 15 degrees less rotation with the 8417
after you end the snap inputs, and this makes it a lot easier to stop the snap
where you are supposed to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's my experience. I think the lesson is that,
regardless of weight, having servos with a speed of well under 0.2sec/60deg
makes a big improvement.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, looking at JR, Futaba, and Hobbico servo
lineup, I see many servos well under 0.2sec.</FONT></DIV>
