Default Analog vs. digital

OK guys. I purchased a BVM T-33 kit from another modeler. He had ALL the JR servos required to fly the jet as recommended by BVM at the time he purchased it....all analog. Should I use them or buy new digital ones. I will be using a Spektrum 12ch power safe RX along with my trusty JR 12X. It will be a big investment to turn around replace them all with digital JRs. Comments?

Hey Tom,

You will be fine if it is all the recommended items from BVM. They were fine in the day and models aren't going any faster. I am confident you will be fine.

Tom put digis on the ailerons. I believe you will get a more crisp response in roll but as big John states the recommended servos will be fine.

Danno, I actually thought about that when I asked this question. Broke out laughing. You guys coming to Ga Jets?

Its important to understand there are some very good analog servos, and some junk with the word digital slapped on their sticker.

Why would you want to build a new jet like you are living in 1999? If you have a new in box jpx turbine would you use it?

Todays modern digital servos are superior in everyway, case design, holding power, accepting long servo leads without glitching.

Building this kit is alot of time and effort, step up to modern servos.
