Bill - interestinly enough, I *had* figured out the throttle thing a few planes back.... but didn't transition that knowledge to control systems. This is cool.
Ya know, I gotta tell you, you had me thinking really hard on how to explain it. I've gotten so used to just doing it. It actually gave me a migraine (just kidding). I nomally use Hitec's now but on a whim I used 8611's on my AW Yak this last time and I was "lost". Granted it was still easy to do since this thing is all figured out for you, but I did have trouble with the H9 aluminum arms trying to get a matching set for the elevator halves. I finally said the heck with it and went to the SWB arms that I use on the Hitec's.

I just pulled the plug on the new WH 33% Edge and in two weeks I'll be ordering the 5955 Hitec's for this bad boy. I'm getting really tired of replacing gear sets at 30 to 50 bucks a pop after 75 or so flights because I wore them out on the normal metal gear servos

I've heard nothing but good things on the 5955 since they use titanium gearsets. Guys are in the area of a couple of hundred flights with no slop in the geartrain and the guys over at TBM have been using 8.4 volts on them succesfully for over 440 ounces of torque
