I think we may be able to help. Would you be willing to send your gear to our plant in Middleton, WI for such tests? I'll talk to my partner on Monday about this. It would be a fun project for him!

The 5.6 or 3.0 is just for part of the loop.
I plan to put a trigger voltage into the potentiometer on the DX3 steering wheel and then measure from the servo output on the receiver. I will repeat it with my X10 heli radio -- which is a very high end analog system. We will see what is faster and by how much.
SportCrystals,
I do need assiatance. I don't currently own a digital oscilloscope. I was actually planning to buy one JUST to stop speculation on what system is fastest. I am not sure what scope to buy and would ideally like to borrow one -- even one of those pocket digital scopes. I don't need a lot of bandwidth. Or you could do the experiment and report the results.
