Servo compatibility

I was trying to find servos other then 3 offered on Parallax (they slow) and found this www.imagesco.com/catalog/motors/servo.html
I see that Parallax uses Futaba's servos so I was wondering which of the servos from link above (not just Futaba) I can use with Parallax servo controller PSC-USB? My understanding that most of them are 1.5ms neutral pulse so its similar to what Parallax's info describes www.parallax.com/dl/docs/books/edu/roboticsservomod.pdf in Chapter#1. Just want to make sure that Im not missing something before I buy bunch of Servos.

I also see that Futaba's website offers much bigger choice. Anyone knows the link to the online store for those?

Thanks for your help.
Andrei

    You are not missing anything. Most hobby servos use the same timing scheme. You can always check the servos specs to see what they expect for timing before you buy.

    You can use any of those HiTec servo. You will have to adjust the timing for various brands and or models. I've used a 322HD for a RFID lock box for my son. My model airplane doesn't have a rudder sevo anymore, but I didn't like it anyway. Parts get call out for other service.
