On a plane this size.. yes... you only have one servo per channel...

But get a 33% and you have dual servos on the ailerons, rudder, etc...


Then it's nice to be able to match their throws so that they don't fight each other. It's an extra for those who are growing into larger planes...

The other issue is value... the Digitals will hold a higher value and be usable in larger aircraft should you go there... 50cc and above where a standard servo wouldn't have enough torque.


I guess, to put it most succinctly... I had a profile... CG Extreme 330... with standard Futaba 3004 servos... flew O.K. but was "sloppy" in performance... it was easy to see that in the more radical maneuvers that the surfaces were tsalling the servos... even moving them backwards...

I replaced with 5945's (for kicks and grins) and ended up seeing a totally different plane... the speed, torque and accuracy made the plane an absolute ball to fly, and was doing things it just could not do prior.

The question is "Is there a difference?" the answer is yes... significant. But is it worth it? Depends on who you ask. I just will tell you that I thought the same thing UNTIL I experienced the difference... even on a .46 size profile.
