Default RE: servos for 2m patternship

Hey Danny,

Yep - the ratings are typically stated for 4.8 and 6.0 volts - nominal voltage for 4 and 5 cell Nicd and Nimh. Nixx freshly off the charger will be ~7 volts for a 5 cell, and all the JR stuff suitable for pattern is rated for 5 cell use. So setting the Vreg to 6.3 or 6.5 is well within the range. I've put 1,000+ flights on some JR servos (with some gear and pot changes) in pattern planes using unregulated 5cell Nixx, so no worries.

Regards,
Dave Lockhart
