I have to smile.
Has anything in this thread helped the poor rookie with his original question?!
I am new to the sport as well, and am wrestling with the same issue. A shop in my neck of the woods has a sale on an FM 6102 e/w 4 servos for $299. I am sorely tempted by this price, but this thread has served to do very little but confuse me more.
Thanx for the effort all, but I think I'll just have to go with my gut!
