Hi, I have a Futaba S9650 that I plan to use in my Dragonus Elite. I have a Futaba 6EX FASST TX/RX. The newbie question is: Do i need another wiring than normal since it is a digital servo. At this site: http://www.trextuning.com/electrical-setup.php
I get the impression that I need the "advanced" setup if I have a digital servo. Is this correct? If so, what do I need to buy extra?

The only difference between the advanced setup and the basic. The advanced is using a BEC in the diagram.
The digital servo is not going to know if a BEC is in the circuit or not.
Just plug the servo into the gyro as you would with any other servo. If it is a Futaba gyro, be sure to set the gyro to DS mode.

Noob question: What's the benefit of having a digital servo for the rudder control?

The digital servos have faster transistion and more precision.

In non digital mode the 401 updates the servo postion at 70 frames per second (or so) which is what a reciver puts out.
If you are running a digital servo and set DS mode on the gyro updates the servo at 270 frames per second!
