<div> <font face="Arial" size="2">Wouldn't that say something for the good
ole std coreless servo then. Does one REALLY need a digital for top performance?
I have coreless on my Prophecy and digitals on the Aries. I can knife
edge all day long on the coreless just like my digital. My Futaba coreless
9101/9202 servos center well and probably as good as my JR digitals. So
where or when do I realize the difference? </font></div>

I'll probably ruffle a few feathers with what I'll write next, but that never
stopped me before. My opinion is that most pilots can't tell the difference
between the performance of standard coreless servos versus digital coreless
servos. Most pilots just aren't good enough to tell the difference. Marketeers
love this situation because they can sell more expensive items to people
who can't tell the difference but are too vain to admit it.<br>

<br>
That's because the control surfaces are bouncing up and down, and your<br>
high-current Digital servos are fighting to hold them in place.<br>
<br>
That is the advantage of using a soft engine mount. It reduces the load
on<br>
the servos by reducing the vibration transmitted to the controls, especially<br>
during low engine power settings. Merle Hyde actually says you will see
a<br>
300 % increase in battery performance using his mount!<br>
