Default Analog vs. Digital Servo Use

I know this been asked before but I am, in a bind right now. I have an HOB ME 109 that is ready for radio installation and have a question: I am using 3 digital servos and I need one more....can I use an analog servo alongside the digital ones? It sure would make it a lot easier(and cheaper.

Depends on the reciever. Some recievers when set up for digital servos, do not behave well with anolog. I would think that if your reciever does not switch between the two, you may be ok.

The hi end Futaba 2.4 Rx don't like them mix, but I don't think he's running a $200 Rx in a HOB Me 109.[X(]

I cant see any issues mixing servos like letting the magic smoke out of your radio gear and as written above, it depends on your RX, try it out, it will either work or it won't.
