RE: HiTec Servos for pattern
Hello guys,
The important think here is to simply provide an open honest opinion for those looking for answers here. The post has mixed results, which is a good thing. Most of us on here have had mixed results with products that have been mentioned,....some good,...some not so good. I personally have had great luck with "all" of the older and newer servos (Futaba, Hitec, JR and Airtronics) and for the guys just starting pattern flying. My only advise to the new guys, is to remeber that servo selection should be based on the application in which you intend to use it.
I think perhaps the Futaba 6 volt question was raised because Futaba does not list in the spec. chart 6 volts for some of the servos. I know years ago I was running 9206's in my 40% Cap and was told by the Futaba Rep. in the area at the time not to run them on 6 volts. However,..Mr. Kirk Gray and I (God bless his soul) both ran these servos on our Caps for may years with out any issues on Duralite 7.4 volts regulated, just an example.
P.S: Chad,...let me know how you like the new bird,...getting ready to order 2.
Best regards,
Bill Holsten
