Receivers

If you were going to buy a second receiver to work with a JR transmitter (72MHz), what would you buy?



JR? Berg? Something else?



This would be something that would go into anything from a 16-oz park- flier-ish airplane, up to a three to four pound .25 powered model. So lightness is nice, but not necessary. The transmitter is four channels.


I have had good luck with Hitec receivers an JR transmitters. I have never tried anything as small as a 16 Oz parkflier though. The smallest I have done was a 1/2A House of Balsa P51 with an OS 15 in it.

I'm still happy with my Hitec Supreme 8-channel receivers. They are growing long of tooth, but I still see them for sale here and there.

I would also like to try their receivers with the ability to shift hi or low automatically. No, I'm not recommending them, since I haven't tried them and have no experience with them. Twould be nice if they worked as well as the Supreme 8-channel Hitec rxcvr's I'm using currently.

Same here. I can't count how many Hitec receivers I've purchased (six or eight?), with no complaints.

Berg is good. Hitec is good, but not the feather. mk

Hitec! Most reliable I have had over the years.

The Hitec Feather is a total piece of poopie. If you're staying in pretty close, the little GWS receivers actually work quite well. All that being said, the Berg receivers are excellent also!
