Well,

Over here I gotta agree with RCKen, and I apply the rule of economics what is your priority, if you priority, your plane requires the digital servos, do that, what if it's just you want to check how do they work. I'm happy with standard servos. I'm still using FM 72 Mhz TX and RX, simply I can't afford 2.4 GHz, can't even afford now to buy a plane, just got a check today in my ban account and wife made a list of bills and grocery shopping. I believe if things are working good for you, don't switch to something more expensive and stay within your limits. These are my thoughts and I'm not using it as an advice for anybody. Just sharing it

Happy flying

Mody, I just ordered a Hitec 2.4 Module for my 9-C, $20.00 + $5.00 for shipping and you have to send them in a standard old module. Working or not!! It will be a while until I can afford any RXs but it is a starting point to get into 2.4 and still keep my trusty Futaba!! Offer good until the end of this month. Back to SERVOS: First digitals I bought were the lowest price Hitecs i could get, I would have to go look at the number but I think they were/are the 5475s at $35.00. They work just fine and yes, I can tell the difference between them and a standard servo but it depends on the plane and the stunts. They are carbonite gears so they are used in my smaller glow powered planes. Depending on what I have on hand at the time I mix servos very often, I use digitals on the elevators and rudder and may use analogs on the ailerons. Even on my big planes i still use a good BB analog for throttle. I'm in the same boat as Mody so I tend to use what I have on hand for my planes and save my money for things like the electric bill. If you can afford digitals then by all means buy them, they will be with you for a lot of years so you may as well get them now. If not then analogs work just fine!!
