I’d love to see a servo with the
same reliability and performance as the DS 368 at 2/3 of the price. It is quite
a blow to pay $300 for four wing servos. $200 is almost at the point where the
wife doesn’t notice.

Subject: [RCSE] New Airtronics
Digital Wing Servo
I thought I would give you guys a heads up, the new Digital Wing Servo from
Airtronics is now a reality. Sanwa was a little slow to realize the need
for a competitive wing servo. JR , Futaba, and Volz all have top of the line
wing servos, my favorite is the JR DS 368. I got 4 of the new servos to test,
and have them installed in my Starlight 3000 Xtail. The servo is about the same
size as the DS368, just a little thinner, and features case lugs for either top
or side mounting. Torque specs and holding power are equivalent to the DS368.
The servo has a very nice feel to it with no servo arm rock and a good gear
mesh with minimal play. So far speed and centering are very good, I plan
on thorough testing with this model and will get back to you on how they
hold up. The servo will be available in early 2005 with a street price around
$53.00. Best regards and Happy Holidays to my Soaring Buds around the
