Default Hitec Digital servo programer

Just a minor point, I guess - but this idea about setting the failsafe position in the servo itself (instead of in the TX) has me a bit concerned.

Most pilots that I know of, who actually bother to set failsafe positions (rather than default to hold) just set the positions once when they first rig the aircraft, and then forget all about it.

With this Hitec approach, I forsee some possible problems with people replacing a defective servo and forgetting to program the new one, leading to the failsafe potentially doing the exact opposite of what you might want.

That isn't meant as a "dig" at Hitec in any way - just my "engineer's hat" always looking for the potential problems in anything new...
