beach,

Thanks for the response. The 6V & 2.4G has to do with the auto shutdown of the receiver in the event of low voltage when the battery is low. Theoretically you don't need it if you battery is adequately sized and you don't let it drain too much, but it's just added safety.

The concern about the servo life isn't so much the cost of the servo itself, but a lost plane that could result from it
