Lookyj,

DIGITAL vs. ANALOG Servos
Digital servos incorporate a type of high-frequency servo motor controller that allows them to center perfectly, hold their positions when pushed, and offer smoother and faster response. Unfortunately, some digital servos will not last as long as analog servos on throttle duties because the digital amplifier will continue to pump current into the servo motor at full throttle or idle. This dead short can cause digital servos to burn out more quickly. Analog servos, on the other hand, use regular servo motor controllers that are less accurate and less smooth, but are more affordable and more durable when subjected to throttle duties

As far the Jr vs Futaba on the tail, some like a chevy, some like a ford: Some like a ford, some like a chevy. Some of the jet-turbine guys swear by the JR's and some of the 550 class guys swear by the Futaba. Go figure....

J-MICHAEL,
Nice head camera set up. I'd make one, but don't have one of them fancy digital video cameras.
