Default Hitec servo and FASST

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, using Hitec HS-475HB servos with Futaba R617FS receiver?

I have about 7 of them with R617's and R608's, running good now for about a year.

Roger that. I use primarily hitec servo's but have other brands as well and they all work fine with my futaba rx's.

I have a mix of hs475hb's and 325hb's in my Extra 300, R617FS receiver, no issues for the entire 08' season.
I have 5 HS 5625MG digitals in my 73" Yak 54, also R617FS, no issues during bench testing.
About the only Hitec servo that have an issue are older HS5955's, which Hitec will update for free, and that issue was only with the R6014FS receiver.
Good luck,
Pete

Thanks. I appreciate everyone's input. It seemed to me in bench testing that everything was okay but I figured before I put something in the air I'd ask just to be sure. After all some of you have a year or more experience with this set up and that's good to know. Thanks again.

I have all of the Futaba 2.4 receivers , 6014, 616, 606, 617 and 608.

I have used all sizes of Hitec servos with these receivers from the little micro digital up to 5945 MG.

never had a problem.

regards
