When ??

and what's the HPP-21 programmer ? If not this - is hitec ever going to make programming easy ? Yes it's easy - but swapping back and forth with the servo plug, non-matching positions with the transmitter... etc... it's just very time consuming... and somewhat non-intuitive.

Seriously?
I think Hitec's programming is the simplest of them all.
Simply Stick the servo in the plane, plug in the servo to the programmer, and turn the knob to set the center and end points. Turn it off. Repeat. Done.

How much simpler do you need?

This is a stupid question but here it goes. If I program the center and end points of my servos in the plane with this programmer, does this mean in my TX I will leave my end points at 100% ?

MAP: $134.99 so $15 more than the current 7955TG which is $119.99.

They look great!

Now if we could only get the 7940's blistering fast .07 speed with the 7950's torque.

Why do you need that much speed with that much torque?
