I've used servos in non r/c applications, and have found that as long
as the pulse WIDTH is within reason, that you can set the frequency 
well above that of the normal recievers output.  It makes it easy to
eliminate that 'buzzing' low frequency oscillation you sometimes get.

: The servo will normally center at about 1.5 msec for Futaba and J.R.

: 1.9 msec).  How many of you remember Kraft radios?

I love my Kraft servos!  I think the centering adjustment in the hub is
a great idea.  Why don't others do this?
