<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>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

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. <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Paul Horan" <PHORAN@VVM.COM><BR>> To: <DISCUSSION@NSRCA.ORG><BR>> Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 3:32 PM <BR>> Subject: Digital / standare Servo question <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > Hi, <BR>> > I am looking for feedback on what to choose as a general purpose servo
