the member started this post didnt mention "wanna save a few hundred bucks ".
Why else would one buy an inferrior product if it wasn't because they were trying to cut cost???


and the ones who use hitec servos dont "save a few hundred bucks".
you are so very correct, they loose several thousand when the Hitec servos fail in their plane.

i tried the Hitec servos many moons ago in helicopters, they were drastically over rated on their speed and the centering was crap so i quickly sold them and replaced them with JRs that i'd grown to love. sense that time I've seen countless planes go in with servo failure and all had Hitec in them, just a few weeks ago we had a guy put his new Futaba FASST 14ch in his 1/4 scale gasser and all the Hitec servos smoked, i tried to bring this up in a different thread and got cursed and flamed as a Futaba basher and the owner of the plane in question was just an idiot so I've come to the conclusion if you want to stick your head in the sand and ignore the facts and continue to use inferior products, live and learn the hard way by having failures and loosing your aircraft.

you get what you pay for, if Hitec had the quality that JR does then they'd bring the same price or they'd drive JR prices down but they don't, just like a Ford Festiva isn't gonna drive the price of a BMW down.

..............Basically George is right. Why pay for extra if not needed. Of course I want only the best for my jets,.................

ask yourself why it is Uncle Bob uses only JR servos in his aircraft???
