Default RE: Jet servo's?

Oooops,

I just wanted to start a "best servo for jets" thread, not a servoreligion intifadah!
And best should be read as best price versus performance, reliability and quality. Performance can be read from the specs, but how to test reliability, we would need lotsa data from users I guess. And then what, You ask repair shops what they get in for repairs, some owners are not all that careful with electronics..so opinions are also not too reliable.
Quality can be a wide area, but would include things like service from the company.

But I'll be honest, a bit of emotion in someone's posting makes fun reading, we are talking HOBBY isn't it? Don't take it too serious guys, bad for the onboard fuelpump...
That said, don't get me wrong, that I don't take things seriously. I all too well know from my profession how important good equipment can be. But safety is NOT a servo-only matter, one has to look at the whole picture. I do not want to cut corners and save a few bucks, but I like to spend the money where it makes most sense.

I already own a HITEC programmer, which makes my eventual decision easier for not having to buy one. But on the side: setting end- and midpoints is not very user friendly, one has to disconnect the servo from the system, and after each adjustment of digital values You have to reconnect it to Your system again and check how each adjustment worked out. Getting two elevators working perfectly in sync, takes quite a bit of patience and time!!!!
