Goose,

Thanks for the info on the number of servos per group, etc.

Do we know why Jet recommends using only servo groups A, B & C when the
receivers can support significantly more groups (8 or 10?)? The only reason I ask is
that configurations that can max out a central box 200 such as a 40% aerobatics
plane with 6 Ailerons servos, 4 elevator servos, 3 rudder servos plus throttle and
ignition kill pushes (breaks?) these suggested limits.

You can put as many servos in a group as you want. The only caution is that since all servos in a group start at the same time the resulting current spike can get high. This is not a problem as long as your system power supply can handle it. Otherwise it is better to spread the servos out among the groups. The reason for restricting the total number of groups is to keep the latency to a minimum.
