Q. What are the advantages of digital servos?
A-1. Instantaneous response
The digital micro processor is 10 times faster than an analog servo, this results in a much quicker response from the beginning with the servo developing all the rated torque 1 degree off of the center point.
A-2. Programmability
Using Hitec's proprietary programmer and servo test device, model HFP-10, Hitec digital servos can be programmed for, direction of rotation, center and end points, failsafe option, speed and dead bandwidth adjustment. This is great for matching sets of servos for deadband width, center and end points in giant scale aircraft applications and for reversing a digital servo when two are used on a "Y" harness.

A-3. Enormous Standing Torque
The standing torque of a digital servo is 3 times that of its analog counterpart.
