first so that you may better help me out.<SPAN> </SPAN>I want to put
new servos in my Used Summit III, it has 148’s in it now and I think it
flies great, no problem with torque, and there isn’t a centering problem
between days and flights.<SPAN> </SPAN>But, I am always hearing that
better servos will make you fly better.<SPAN> </SPAN>And I want to be
a better flier.<SPAN> </SPAN>So, I have spent the last three weeks
researching servos.<SPAN> </SPAN>This research must be one of those
instances when you are confused because you are paying
attention.<SPAN> </SPAN>I want is spend less than $180, $25 - $40 per
servo and 40oz ok ailerons, 60oz rudder and elevator.<SPAN>

I assume they have better centering and maybe more power than a 3-pole, I am
thinking these might work for me so please try and sell me on the coreless.

different armature system without poles that allows for better centering and

that the standard specs for speed are misleading. If the coreless motor is
lighter and accelerates more quickly than a 3-pole why does a $30 coreless
post the same specs as $9 el cheapo?<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

it?<SPAN> </SPAN>It should center fine because with a digital servo
centering is powered. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
