Is anybody out there using coreless / digital servos?
Which are you using and have you had any problems with them ie gilching and twitching or other interference problems?

thanks Woody

Woody,
The digital servos tend to resolve the twitching problem. When the transmitter sends a location, encoded digitally, the servo translates this and moves to that exact spot and typically stays there. It is no longer sensitive to voltage or signal strength.

Unfortunately, it does introduce a new twitch, one generally located near your billfold or where ever you keep your hard earned cash. The cost of a digital servo is almost double that of an analog. Twitch - Twitch - Twitch

Digital is the way to go but analog works just fine

This might help, it discusses both the advantages and disadvantages of digital servos.
