Saito 72 Top RPMs

Why should YS be excluded? Why shouldn't I run it at peak minus 300 rpm? I'm well within manufacturer suggested practical RPM range, even taking unloading in the air.

Range problems with digital servos

If they use different IF's they shouldn't be off by more than 5kHz and if the servo is making RF noise you can bet it is wideband and would interfere with both IF's. I think that some receivers have...
