<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>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Joe:<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><BR>Tony Stillman<BR>Radio South<BR>3702 N. Pace
