RE: 8411 Alternative.
Sean,
You didn't get gouged---I try to get the most out of my modeling $$$ so I look for deals here on RCU. Unless I need something right away, I lurk in the Marketplace here on RCU and snatch up some of the good deals.[8D] Before I had children I pretty much bought what I wanted to...Now, I have to make every $ count.
I hate that you had problems with the 5600 series of servos. I've heard a lot of bad things about them in the Radio forum.
Again, it took a LOT of convincing for me to try the 5945's!!! I did a lot of investigating...So far I'm happy.
Kevin
