What's screwy is that I could feel a difference between my Futaba 3PMX, FASST R603FS, running between PPM and HRS. my turn and apex timing was way off between the two. I could not feel the difference between my 3PMX HRS FASST and my 4PLS w/R304sb at 5.5ms. I could feel the difference between my 4PLS and my Spektrum DX4C. huge. The Spektrum was horrible. However, I can't feel the difference between the 4PLS w/R304 at 5.5 and my 4PX w/R304 at ? In Hand feel,i liked the 4pls a little better than the 4px but that's probably because I used the 4pls for so long I am used to it. So I really wonder, once we get down to sub 5ms how effective is the cost per benefit at this point? All my servos are in the .07 to .12 range so they are likely the bottleneck at this point. I'm running Futaba s-bus Gen servos but they're not the latest and newest so I'm not sure I'd benefit from the 7px. Not yet anyway.
