Default Servos - Coreless or Digital?

Whatever; I still prefer PCM for my "good" models because of the failsafe feature.
I'm just the opposite. PCM doesn't solve radio problems it just hides them and the failsafe... well I've seen more plane go in lately from a total lockout than from just jumpy servos.

I will say that PCM does have a shorter freq wave that helps elminate outside noise but I'm not one for the lockout feature. Even if you set it at a slow idle, with neutral controls or even with a little up elevator if you lockout in a knife edge or inverted your still bumming.

Now as for the servo resolution... resolution is the measurement, usually in ms, of the smallest distance the servos arm can move. I don't know how or if PPM/PCM can relate to that but it might.
