RE: digital vs analogue
As we are in the Beginner's forum there is another point that can be made. Please remember, this is in the context of Beginner/Intermediate pilots in here. An Indy race team will easily spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to shave even a few hundredths of a second off of their time. Now for those of us driving to work each day, we would never even be able to tell the extra speed gain so spending that kind of money is a waste. What does that mean for servos?? It means that most of those in here at this level of flying would never be able to tell the difference between analog or digital servos as they just aren't going to be doing things that the digitals will be a benefit for.
Does this mean that you shouldn't buy them? Not at all. If you really want them then by all means buy digital servos. But do a hard honest look at ask yourself do you really need them?? If not then save the money and get a good analog servo!! To be honest, I've been flying for 14 years and the largest part of my servos are good old Airtronics 94102 standard analog servos. These servos are a real workhorse and will do quite a bit. I don't mind spending money on digital or higher torque servos when I need them, but I'm not going to spend the money on them just so I can tell everybody I have digital servos!!!
