Default Which radio system can program servos?

I'm told that some radio transmitters can actually slow down retract servos. I don't think that its a feature of the Spektrum DX7, which I own. Are there any other Spektrum or JR radio transmitters that can do this? Thanks Art M

9303 does so I assume the 9503 and other high end ones do as well like the 11 and 12x

The Airtronics SD-10G and the Hitec Aurora 9 also have the ability to slow down a servo in their menus.

I was somewhat annoyed to discover the 9303 only did it in the airplane mode, it wouldn't do it in when glider/sailplane was selected.

Yes, but it is a real radio called Hitec Aurora 9. Check it out!

And it has all channel failsafe, not just throttle only like S Dx7

While some radios do have a 'speed' function to slow servo response, be aware, most retract servos are not proportional. If they are not proportional, then they will only rotate 180 degrees and it is at a fixed speed, you can't slow them down.

Thats a good point, the retract servo in my scale glider is a regular servo.
