First time working with full HV digi system (Hitec)

I have a HPP-21 servo programmer and have MX22 Tx (Hitec module) with lot of the same program functions as servo programming (like servo reverse, end points, etc.)

What's preferable? Programming the servo via HPP-21 of programming the Tx?

What are the advantages/ setbacks of each one?

Thanks, V.

Programming Digital servo via the programmer is to be preferred as provides settings,
such as adjusting Deadband and other adjustmentswithout loss of latency orresponse.

Please refer to
. Using the TX requires unequal travel set points
to garner equal surface deflections; accordingly your model may exhibit a more sensitive feel in one direction
than the latter to compensate for the unequal travel arc of the servo arm(s)

. Using (TX) trims, offsets and curves skews the results
and ultimately leaves you with unequal travel volumes and speed of the surface in play.

I have asked this question, before, on RCU. Some believe that you Match all the servos, using the Programmer, and keep the programming in the Tx to a minimum. There are others that feel that the servos should be set to Factory Defaults and use the Programming in the Transmitter.

I believe you need a little of both, if you are using Hitec Digital servos. Setting the Servo Direction, Neutral, and Speed is easy to do and minimizes the need for SubTrim. I am of the mindset that one should avoid the use of Y Harnesses, where possible. JR Matchboxes are a good alternative, but expensive. Once you have the Programmer, programming the servos is free.

I don't believe there is any risk using the Hitec Programmer unless mistakes are made. Checking the Deflection rate for all control surfaces should identify mistakes made when using the Hitec Programmer.

Thanks BB, logical. Will do
