Ever wondered what a servo is, or what it does?
Servos come in all shapes and sizes, and it can be difficult to know what's what. There are a lot of differences in servos, and Ron and Tom explain what they are. From metal gears to plastic gears, micro servos to standard size servos, analog to digital, there's a lot to know about the servo that goes in your airplane!
