Once again you missed the point John (Let me put on my surprise face) If you take the time to read my post. I said NOTHING bad about the boys in red, in fact I have nothing but great respect and good words for almost all of them...:^P They have great people and have great product's and great support. Even if one of them said that they were glad that I fly Airtronics, well for that matter maybe all of them?
I also do not care what Darly or Joe or...fill in the blank fly's this year. Even thought Chip Hyde is no longer with Futaba he now fly's for Airtronics, Hummmm. What my post was about (just so you can understand what I was saying) Is that "Airtronics just raised the bar in the servo war" and they did a great job in doing that. Airtronics has always given me great service and they have a good presence at the big contest's and allot of the local contests. Once again, You make it sound as if you really care but again all you are doing is promoting what you sell nothing more nothing less, and if as you say "Price point is not the best way to choose" Then I guess that being smaller, lighter, faster, stronger could be a factor for most of us. As to the beginners it is hard to beat the old 141 for price. But there are allot of great servos out there even if the servo is red, and their are some among us that would argue that blue is the only color servo to fly but that is another story in it's self.
