Hitec 555 (caseless). Small, light, top plugs. I tried a Berg, but that cost me a plane. Went to Hitec and haven't had a problem since. I also use Hitec SuperSlims in my TD planes...never any trouble there, either. Tom - Original Message - From: Jody Z. Vogel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

In my experience, the Hitec receivers are essentiall bullet proof. I have 4 or 5 and have never had a problem with any of them...even ones that get abused in a combat foamie. For my DLG, I use a Hitec 555 with the case removed. I have another 555 for use in other small slopers, and the rest
