Re: RE: [RCSE] JR/Hitec servo question

2005-03-25 Thread Steve Richman
Loren, assume both the JR and Hitech servos are digitals. I've used plenty of each. Some do hum or buzz a little, others don't. From my experience it's a matter of individual servos, not brand. The buzz comes with digitals. You get used to it after awhile. For value, nothing beats Hitech.

Well said, Steve. It is the discerning modeler who wants the very best, the most flexible radio, who is atracted to complex 12 channel scale ships. That's who the 4000 appeals to. Like any high end product, the market is modest and you won't find support in every small town. It's no different

I've had nothing but great success with Hitech digitals. My gut feel: something in the wiring or elsewhere is creating your problems. Were it the servos, you'd be hearing the same complaints from lots of other fliers. Regards, Steve From: Albert E. Wedworth Date: Thu Mar 03 10:44:30 CST 2005

About the same quality of spray as a Krylon can assuming the paint sprayed is at the appropriate viscosity. The advantage is you can choose exactly what you want to spray. Another option: go to a store that sells paints and supplies to the body shop trade. They can match any color by scanning
