Default RE: Warbirds & digital servos ... Worth it ??

I would have to agree with the others here that either will do well. I fly scale warbirds in the size range you are speaking of plus some larger. Properly sized analog servos are doing a good job for me. Remember that 10 years ago we did not have digital servos and big scale birds and unlimited racers got along just fine. Probably the next decade will see the digital servo as the predominate offering. But for the present use what you can afford that will do the job.
I fly a mixture of Hi-Tec, Futaba, and JR analogs using a Futaba 9ZAPS WCII transmitter. When analog selections decline to the point that I cannot find the correct servo for the job then I will add digitals but until that time the 60+ analog servos in my scale birds work fine for me.

Looking for opinions here guys... Giant scale warbirds, is your preference digital servos or a quality analog servo?

Example... 8411 vs a 4721.

No right or wrong answer I'm looking for, but interested if one can really notice a difference in SCALE flying.

By that, I mean smooth realistic flying ala a full size warbird. ( 85 " to 102" planes mostly )

Building a Ziroli P 51... wondering which servos to use. I actually have both of these in stock in my shop, but wondering if there is any advantage to digitals?

At this point, I've used mostly 9402, 4721 or 9202 on my warbirds.

So, share your thoughts and opinions please.

Good Day.


Last warbird I built .... ( 9202 servos btw )
