| u know, back in the day when i started flying helis, ccpm was a rare concept and only a few machines used it mechanically at that). in the early stages, it was said to give advantages to the workload of each servo. since there were three working together, they werent required to be as strong as one for each function, in other words, there is strength in numbers. for some reason today, that logic does not seem to be true anymore. it seems to be taboo to use servos like the s148 on a heli, period. course back then there werent many other options anyway but in todays world, a non ball bearinged servo in a heli flying on 15% nitro with a mechanical gyro and spinning wood blades is a sin in the eyes of many
i enjoy being one to occasionally commit that sin however especially to a generation that got started in the hobby without the knowledge such items even existed.
in saying all this, the term you get what you pay for hold true in many ways but you can still get quality and reliability at a very economical price.
