Just to jump on the bandwagon, I have 3 Hitec 555 receivers
that I swap in and out of a number of planes with no problems.
I used to read other people's reports about Rx jitter,
problems with interference, placing the Rx too close to an ESC, etc.. and could
never figure out why these people were having problems.
I bought a FM Tetra receiver, and now I
know!
It has never been in a crash, mainly because it has never
worked long enough for me to feel safe putting it in a plane. Sometimes it
will work, sometimes not.. sometimes its another Tx that causes problems,
sometimes its in a plane with an ESC, sometimes it just goes crazy for no
reason.
So, to add onto the previous offer, if anyone wants to buy one
cheap, let me know.. I have channels 42 and 14 on the 72Mhz band.

Greg,
I had two of them both giving the same results, ie
crunching planes. When I
would fly by my self or with say one other
pilot things would work just
fine, but when flying in a frequency rich
environment like HLG at the Nats I
was getting hit constantly resulting in
heavy damage to a brand new Logic
and a almost new Monarch D-lite. I
have not flown a Tetra since and do not
intend to what with all the other
really good small RX available. I do not
see any reason in risking
another plane. BTW, if you still like them after
reading this, I have
two NIB Tetras that have never been in a plane that I
will be glad to sell
you cheap.
See Ya,
Pat
