Best Receivers
I need to get a few planes ready to join in the fun this year. Can any of you guys tell me what the most cost effective receiver for Futaba fm radio. I will be flying mostly SSC.

I like the Electron 6 (I think they have been replaced by the Neutron 6, now), but lately any 72mhz stuff I've gotten has been the Castle Creations Berg 4. Really lightweight, and you can get them enclosed in a solid plastic case for about 30 bucks. I've never had any issue with interference with them. Castle also has really good customer service, or at least always has with me.

I`ve just switched to an Assan 2.4 system from Hobby City. The module plugs in to my three Hitech Eclipse 7 Txs. Easy to bind the RX/TX. Works great so far. I`m not supposed to talk about price, but the 7ch 11g rx has a hard plastic case and cost less than anything mentioned on this thread.
They have a module and 2 rx combo that you can have for less than Ben Franklin. An rx for 1/4 of a Ben.

I have a couple of planes on Corona receivers, some crystal and others synthesized. No problems, light weight, small, rugged. 72 mhz.
Will probably get a 2.4 module for my Futaba 9C when I get the AR-234 ready to fly; 2.4 seems to give less issues with high powered electrics. Learned that from Lee.

I thought maybe the short antennas were primarily for park flyer types.
Since HC always seems to be out of stock of the modules, I found out HiModel carries them as well, although the RX's are slightly higher.
The one that I'm interested in is the "HACK" module, that lets you convert practically any transmitter...the JR 6102 that I've retired is a popular conversion...might give the old boy new life.
