Seems to have more system functionality than the Digitrak (which I have) and
provides more information about what its upto.

I couldn't see from the website literature whether the sensitivity and
torque were adjustable (as they are on the Digitrak; but once set they never
change). But these characteristics could otherwise be modified by altering
the length of control horns on the servo and whatever part of the aileron
circuit it attaches to.

Digitrak's customer-service is good.
