The way I see this, it's like putting retreads on a Ferarri. The high performance planes of today cost $600 and up. Yes standard (non digital) servos work fine in most circumstances, but the digitals are simply better. I doubt you'll find any winning pattern pilot that uses standard servos. Ask anyone that has used digital servos about the difference and you'll understand what I mean. Like most of us, I'm on a limited budget and can't afford $1000 molded plane and another $500 in servos. But, I do try to put the best items I can afford, and I think the elevator servo is THE place to use a digital. gv
