Nick: I could not install my flap servos as shown in the instructions. When bent the pushrod would hit the top of the skin and the supplied clevises were too big and long. Because of the supplied clevis length the bend was too far back to function. I cut away the TE spar but still did not g

JR receivers, with the exception of some recent expensive ones, are all single conversion. A circuitry called ABC&W was added to reject adjacent channel interference when they went to narrow band. None of the Circus radios used ABC&W was far as I can recall (I was a Hobby Dynamics dealer back then

Motorola patented ABC&W in 1986 but I don't recall JR using it until the 1991 standard was announced in the late 80's. The frequencies you list were the initial "even only" channel introductions and only above/including channel 38. We later had all even channels and, finally, the addition of the o
