Ok all you combat raskles

Any thoughts on the use of Frsky or Corona 4ch 2.4 recivers in combat birds.

Our club has a small group the was flying gnats and now are going with electrics Hog's and trying to keep the coast of equipment as cheep as possible.

All comments appericated

I have only had the best of luck with all the Frsky receivers I have bought for the Futaba FASST system. I have used them on smaller planes . I still buy a Futaba receiver for my giant scale stuff..

I use the system from RC-modules.com. its the "fly dream" system, we are heavy into combat and have never had a radio issue. The receivers are inexpensive, I use the module in my hitec radios. great custumer support also!

I have two Frsky rx's for Hitec, they work well so far and seem to hold up well at range even though they are the "Minima" style for smaller planes. Have two of the "Deltas" on order. So far so good!

I used the 72mHz Coronas for years before converting over to 2.4gHz, and never had any problems.
