Yeah, I suppose. I should give it a try and see if I notice anything... why not, right?

Or they could be talking about servo latency-- after all, the servo's microprocessor needs to measure the incoming pulse from the receiver, do some math, then drive the motor appropriately. That all takes time!
Hi Howard, I actually thought about asking you for your input when I questioned earlier. Thanks for the insight. So the signal coming out of the R614FS and R614FFE is analog? TX/RX is digital, then D/A out the RX and then back A/D going into the servo? I suppose in this case, latency can be a concern. For the most part, I am using a fast TX/RX combo so if there is latency, then it would be at the servo.. at the fast 60degree swing I am not sure if the speed of the servo's motor is the culprit or the conversion itself..
