IMAC list we have heard that their centering is lousy, that it is off by as much
as 2 - 3 degrees! Even an old Futaba coreless servos will center to within .5

<DIV>I have a related question. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is the experience (good or bad) using HITEC servos in
pattern? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Clearly they have options and are definitively cheaper than other brands
(JR and Futaba). Any feedback is welcome.</DIV>

Subject: Re: Digital / standare Servo question <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
The Futaba 9202 is a great all around general purpose servo. I have and
<BR>> still use them. My Elan has one on the elevator with nearly 400
flights. In <BR>> one plane ( Hanson Dalotel ) I went from 9202's to
9252's in the elevator <BR>> and ailerons and noticed a positive
improvement. The 9252's are faster and <BR>> much stronger on center than
the 9202's. The 9303's are heavy as they have <BR>> brass gears, the
gears also wear quickly so I'd avoid them. Currently I use <BR>> 9151's
on rudder, 9252's on elevator and either 9252's on ailerons or the <BR>>
low profile 9550 on aileron's with success. <BR>> Biggest plus's I can
see to the digitals are the centering, speed and <BR>> strength around
neutral over the standard coreless servos. I expected a high <BR>> higher
current drain with the digitals I use, 9252's, 9550 and 9151's but <BR>>
although they use more current, it has not been an issue. <BR>> Ed M.
