[RCSE] I need a few micro receivers.
The 6 channel JR 610UL is excellent and 7 grams. about $65 if I remeber right.
RE: [RCSE] I need a few micro receivers.
Either JR's scales are wrong or mine are...I have 2 JR 610UL receivers and, according to my scale, they weigh 10 grams without a crystal and 12 grams with the crystal. That's about 50% more than the advertised weight! Has anyone else actually weighed one?

[RCSE] I need a few micro receivers. What's the current favorites?
I've got a few planes I've been putting together, and it looks like I need a few more micro receivers. I don't feel like stripping some existing planes, so it's time to buy something new. What's the current favorite micro receivers? I've got a few FMA M5s and I'm very happy with them. I've got some Berg-5*DSP II receivers, and they work fine as well, though I'm a bit wary how they're not supposed to work with Futaba synthesized modules. I've got some GWS 4Ps, and while these are OK for small close-in planes, I want something that I can put in a plane I intend to speck out. The Berg Microstamp 4, especially the one that is completely encased in plastic -- http://www.castlecreations.com/products/accessories/berg-ms4.html looks especially promising, especially at $40. But it's not available yet. The number of channels doesn't really matter so much . More is better, of course, but I can shuffle some receivers around if I get something that doesn't have enough channels. The size isn't so important either. I'm looking to put these into planes that aren't itty bitty -- like a Great Planes Fling DLG -- but smaller is better, but I'm also looking for something good. So, the things I'm looking at right now are : FMA M5 = 5 channel, 9 grams. $55 total. Polk Seeker Micro RX 6 = 6 channels, 14 grams. $60 total. Plantraco DSP4 = 4 channels, 5 grams, $35 total. I'd like to list some of the Berg receivers in my list, but from what I can see, there's _nothing_ available right now. Anybody aware of somebody that has them in stock? I'd like to put the Sombra Labs Shadow 1 onto my list, as it does 50, 72 and 75 mHz and is synthesized. But they won't be making any more until the end of the year. The Shadow 3 would be nice as well, though it's limited to just one band, but nobody seems to have them in stock. Is the Plantraco DSP4 really full range? I'm really amazed at how small my list is. I thought there was more out there. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Polk Hobbies Seeker 6. I don't need it to be synthesized, but it would be nice. Is there anything else I should be considering, or some reason I shouldn't be considering what I'm considering? -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know the scientific explaination, BUT FIRE MAKES IT GOOD! --Homer Simpson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] I need a few micro receivers. What's the current favorites?
I have been using the Shadow 3 since Toledo in an electric sailplane and have had zero problems. It is solid OOS (almost OOS) and with transmitters only one channel away. Probably have 60 or so powerup's on it to date. We have had one faulty NIB and replaced that with a new one which is working well. I think we have about six or eight others in the club and I have had no complaints so far on those. I hope to have a bunch to sell soon (I hope a week or less). Sombra is almost there for high volume production.

Re: [RCSE] I need a few micro receivers. What's the current favorites?
I don't know which shift you are looking for but to me the JR 610 UL is a real winner. 6 channel, only 7 grams, end pins and really small. It has been working on my hand launch for months without any perceivable problem. See it here http://www.jrradios.com/ProdInfo/Files/jrpr610ul-manual.pdf http://www.jrradios.com/Products/Support.aspx?ProdID=JRPR610UL** I got mine from Johnny Berlin. He had the best price around and I ordered it along a JR base loaded antenna on a Friday and thought he was kidding once he said I would get it the next day. Saturday the standard shipping package was at my door. I still don't know how he did it but I guess he asked Butch to deliver it ; ) Johnny's email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Glauco On 7/12/05, Doug McLaren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got a few planes I've been putting together, and it looks like I need a few more micro receivers.
