Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / April 2008receiver suggestions please
I have an old Potensky Eagle that I just converted to a brushless power system. It the old RX worked fine with the old motor and controller. Since I changed the motor and controller, I am seeing a lot of nasty glitching. The space for mounting a RX on this thing is severely limited (basically something the size of the Hitec "feather" RX is all the room I have to work with. So what kind of micro size 72Mhz RX are people having good success with out there. P.S. before someone suggests it, I am NOT interested in trying to plow through the on-line forums that's for people who have high-speed connections and plenty of free time, which rules me out on two counts. P.P.S reply to address on this message is bogus The Berg Microstamp receiver by Castle Creations is widely praised as the best of the 72Mhz FM single conversion micro receivers. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLBY8&P=7 Good luck and good shopping! > I have an old Potensky Eagle that I just converted to a brushless power > system.

That'll cut down on interference. PCPhill > The Berg Microstamp receiver by Castle Creations is widely praised as the > best of the 72Mhz FM single conversion micro receivers. [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> P.P.S >> reply to address on this message is bogus I'm a newbie at this..but.... have seen articles mentioning adding ferrite rings to the leads to stop cross-interference for tight installations.

Okay, I've been away a few days, but I'll second the vote for the Berg. They've been absolutely bulletproof for me even under some #&^$% brutal conditions. I've used several brands of micro-rx, with varying degrees of success, but the Berg's are my favorite. Unfortunately, I'm not planning to buy any more 72MHz radios, and AFAIK there's been no announcement about a Berg 2.4. Ah, well. >The Berg Microstamp receiver by Castle Creations is widely praised as the >best of the 72Mhz FM single conversion micro receivers. > >http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLBY8&P=7 > >Good luck and good shopping! after trying everything else to cure my glitching problem, I finally got one of these and installed it. then, after waiting for a reasonable day, I got to try it out last night. It is no wonder that this RX is well thought of, it works, and cured my problems.

I figured I better say SOMETHING about all the help so that people knew I hadn't just taken their suggestions and run away ;-) I always try to learn from other people who have already BTDT, It's cheaper, less painful, and saves me a lot of time if I don't have to learn stuff "the hard way" bob Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge: > I have an old Potensky Eagle that I just converted to a brushless power system. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > P.P.S > reply to address on this message is bogus Here are a couple of possibilities. Corona 8 channel synthesized dual conversion - just a hair smaller than a HiTec Micro 5 channel http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6406 Corona 4 channel synthesized dual conversion http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=5781 I have delt with Hobby City on numerous occasions and found them to be a reliable company. Since it is direct from Hong Kong figure 3 weeks to get the stuff, but the prices are very reasonable. |
