With all the talk about receivers, does anyone have Futaba 148DF on CH08 or thereabouts? I have had good luck with FMA Quantum 8 also. I changed over to ham band last year and am slowly replacing receivers as I get the loot or good deals.
I do have one comment about the ham bands. Some of the big sailplanes (3 meter) did not like the ham band and range suffered. I attributed that to carbon wings and servo noise more easily getting to the receiver on 51 MHz rather than 72 MHz. (fewer harmonics). On recent planes I have located noise suppression capacitors close to each wing servo and problems have dissappeared. I also don't use the ducky antenna with the sailplanes on 51 MHz. However, I do use it on 51 MHz with highly aerobatic power planes with no apparent problems even deliberately way up there. However smaller servo runs and balsa wings. This test was done using the same receiver in both types of planes.
