Hard to believe that carbon pushrods could be the problem. Before I switched to a 2.4 Ghz system, the Berg receivers worked flawlessly in a variety of models. They were installed in my XP 4 and 4.5 and in a couple of Blasters. I also used the 4L in too many Park flyers to describe. I used Airtronics' Vision and Stylus transmitters on an assortment of frequencies. Obviously I changed the frequency of the receiver often to match the transmitter. Never had a range problem that I know about. Now don't ask about trying to fly a DLG for three flights on a 2.5 flight battery pack!

[RCSE] Re: Berg Receivers
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com Subject: Berg 7P, Jade C/F . This receiver had been flown in an all wood sailplane with no issues. Since the Jade fuselage is a kevlar/glass construction that shouldn't be a problem. I was about to blame the Krylon grey primer until I recalled the Jade had carbon fiber pushrods to the elevator and rudder. Has anyone experienced similar problems with a 72MHz receiver? Allan I've got 6 Berg receivers (from Castle), 3 of the 4s and 3 of the 7s. All 6 get 50+ pace range ( ~ 150ft) on the ground or on the tailgate of my pickup. All are in carbon/kevlar fuselages with carbon tail booms. Pushrods are carbon or SS wire. Antenna is run along the top of the tailboom and about 8 is left to dangle in the breeze. Flight range has been to my limits (probably ~ 1000ft) but typical flights are ~ 600ft or so (discus glider). Some contest experience with them so they've seen a crowded frequency environment. So far the response has been excellent with all of them. Transmitter is a JR9303 with 72MHz synth module. I've used ch 19 and 24 and have swapped crystals with no problem. Don Richmond convinced me to try them after I had problems with another Rx brand. So far so good. Hard to believe that carbon pushrods could be the problem. It's possible that the issue with the other brand was my other 9 channel receiver which went to Futaba for a check up and was found to have a few tuning issues. So you might have the Tx checked as well. Might be fine in wood but carbon might throw the signal strength off a bit and . Your mileage may vary but they're good so far for me. - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
