[RCSE] Micro Rcvrs

[LCooper428]

Doug, nice post. I think the critical issue for micro receivers (rcvrs), after weight and size considerations, is the issue of single vs. double conversion. It sounded like it was inherent in your comments. As you probably know, a single conversion rcvr is very limited in its range (heavy on the very). Until this year, double conversion carried a weight burden (hee hee). Now we have some good, light ones.   I'm flying my GP Fling with a single conversion GWS GWR-4P (4 channel Pico type rcvr and Pico std. servos). Now that range is a concern, I've been considering converting to a FMA M5. Based on your comments I've decided, that is a good way to go. Thank you for your comments.   BTW the GP Fling is GP's best effort to date (I have a Spirit Elite and have built many of their woodies.)  It is more than $99 worth of flying machine. As an old scratch builder, I am very impressed with their design, materials used and their excellent instructions. I even learned a good trick or two from their instructions. Not bad for an old guy who thought he knew it all.   Leroy Cooper SVSS Sacramento, CA
