    Fun heli, you'll like it. If its your first, you'll likely be aggregated at the beginning, just keep at it and give a tad of right aileron when taking off.

    Alright guys, I got a $50 gift certificate to A Main for my birthday and I really want to get a waterproof servo.

    Turns out, A Main only carries the analog version of Hitec's waterproof servo. Tower has the digital one, but I don't have a damn gift certificate for them.

    What would you do? Get the analog waterproof one because it's free, or go for the digital waterproof one for $50 on Tower.

    I don't do any hardcore crawling so I just don't know if I would be able to tell a difference in the two...but there could be that one time...

    Thanks!

    Yeah but I've heard nothing but bad things about them. I guess I could just get two of them for the price of one Hitec in case one of them shits the bed...
