Description
#### Issue details
Why is RC_SPEED defaulted to 490Hz in copter? Capturing motor pin outs with an oscilloscope results in 100-400Hz rates being correct, however above 400Hz isnt a thing.
We did notice some odd "jitter" with 490Hz settings, however have been unable to reliably recreate it.

Research direction
Start by locating the RC_SPEED parameter definition in Copter and compare its configured value with the oscilloscope measurements described. Determine whether the default and observed output rate disagree, and investigate the reported jitter; done means the behavior and default rationale are reproducibly explained or a specific correction is identified.
