After speaking with many members of our club, I think Aerobob's observations hit the nail on the head.

I think a majority of flyers like to keep things "simple". Why invest in servos that are more expensive, and more complex without any percieved need? It's when you start getting a little more serious about your flying, and in particular, more critical in, and demanding of, your set-up, that good quality servos and slop-free control linkages come into their own. Pattern flying demands that our control movements are precise and accurate. I see digital servos as great tools to aid in the search for such precision and accuracy.

I know of a pattern flyer who does not like digitals, because they are "twitchy and jittery". This same fellow hasn't much of an idea about programming his radio for expo or dual rates either!
