sounds good thanks for the tips about CF....

Well, here's another major problem.

I soldered the cap on the motor...
assembled everything....and apparently...
the reason why my servo locked up is because the motor is shot.
I tried everything to get power to the servo I have....its a no go.
So I have to put more money down on another (perhaps) more powerful servo.
I just don't know what caused burn out of the servo.
Maybe it was the lack of the 3rd cap on the motor...but somehow I doubt it.
So, I am back at square one temporarily....which micro servo motor do you prefer.

BTW...I think I know what happened...I installed a Hitec HS 55 servo (JR, RCD). I have a FUTABA receiver...and should have put in a Hitec HS 55 servo (FUT). Do you think is was the problem....incompatibility? I think maybe
