I agree the hitecs using the programmer make this a none event but it is still nice to learn to do it using the mechanical stuff as much as possible.

I think Bob has been beating his head on the wall too much lately, he's gonna have to do some wall board repair soon [sm=lol.gif]

I agree on both counts

There is a tremendous value in learning to do it the "old fashioned" way for lack of a better term. The only thing that is un resolvable in a purely mechanical setup is dealing with servos that are not moving at the same speed. Its not the noticable at 10-15 degrees throw, but at 35-70 degrees, it is an impossible situation. Everything else can be corrected with patience and practice.
