[RCSE] Berg receivers
I installed a Berg 5 ch receiver in my DLG. It worked ok when I was alone at the field. This Sunday I was flying near other flyers. When my plane got to within 20-30 feet from another transmitter it stopped responding and crashed. I duplicated the conditions and verified the response (ie: no response). I called Castle Creations this morning and was advised that these receivers were defective. The tech told me that Berg did a disservice to Castle by cranking out a whole bunch of below standard receivers just before selling itself to Castle. They will replace them with a new (hopefully working) receiver. Robert Samuels St. Louis _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

RE: [RCSE] Berg receivers
Wow, that's not the story I heard. It's an interesting spin on the situation, but I don't think that's how it really went. From one of the RCGroups threads a few months ago, I seem to remember that it went like this - the place that made the receivers (somewhere in Eastern Europe?) heard about the sale, and sabotaged the final batch(es) of them. That place would no longer be the manufacturer, as Castle Creations was going to use a different one. Does anyone know what really happened with respect to the Berg -- Castle Creations story? - Dave -Original Message- From: Robert Samuels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 12:19 To: soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] Berg receivers I installed a Berg 5 ch receiver in my DLG.

Berg sold to Castle, Castle is having some problems with something in the RX's. There are some threads on RC groups about it. In the end, for right now apparently not available. Gordy
Re: [RCSE] Berg Receivers
Berg receivers have been taken over by Castle Creations. The original production was done in Eastern Europe. There were some quality problems that will be addressed by Castle. Castle is also redesigning and downsizing some of the receivers. They are quite behind schedule at the moment but once they catch up I am confident that the quality will be on par with other Castle products.

RE: [RCSE] Berg Receivers
Castle Creations purchased Berg and is going to be releasing receivers soon. The micro stamps are priced at 39.95 molded in plastic (It's full cavity injection molded case is no "plastic box" around the circuit board, the board is actually integrated fully within the mold material)and 34.95 without a case. http://www.castlecreations.com/images/bergpage_01.jpg Bill From: TJB [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 10:30 PMTo: Lee Cox; soaring mail pageSubject: Re: [RCSE] Berg Receivers Berg sort of went out of production and is supposedly selling the business.
