I guess its the<BR>freedom of knowing that the investment is low, the size convenient, and the<BR>setup easy.<BR><BR>By the way, I also used standard servos after reading on this site the<BR>results of the Australian UAV research on servo selections. I was amazed<BR>that so few responses were made about the Aussie results. It's one thing to<BR>have the money to buy the 'most expensive' it's another to ignore data.
