SERVOS

I have one of these which I used for steering my Model Slipway Envoy. It's quick, powerful and very cheap - and it works with my old "steam" HiTech radio, too.

As for digital servos, I know very little about these except they are very expensive, very clever and probably designed for competition aerobatic model aircraft.

Noooo. That isnt the case. Digital servos need a radio that is capable of sending a digital signal. For example a radio which has 'servo neutral signal:1319 µs' would not operate a digital servo. These tend to be the following radios CONQUEST AM, FG Series (T4FG, T5FGK, T6FG,T6FGK, T7FGK), New Terratop, T3EGX, T3PGE,T2NL,T2LGX,T2FR,T2PK Series.**
Note its possible other digital servos may work with other digital enable radios.

All very interesting guys but my question still remains..."Will my Robbe F14 radio operate digital servos?
Martin, the articles appear not to address that issue. Are the mfgrs. being coy because they do not want to say "OK folk, here are these marveloous new servos - but, by the way, you need a new radio to use them".

Roger in France:
TO CAD2: The blurb does not say that your servo is digital. Maybe you didn't imply it was but you were simply saying, "Here is a high torque, cheap servo that works well for me".

I try to make a point of not implying anything so, in case there is any doubt:
Here is a high-torque, cheap servo which works for me and which is not digital but might be a lot cheaper than the ones you have been offered and will certainly work with your F14. OK?
