Default RE: Futaba receivers

ORIGINAL: Flytoolow

I am in the process of upgrading my hanger...I am going from old Airtronics stylus to a Futaba 12FGA. Where do you get your best deal on R617FS receivers?

Thanks in advanced!
I have 7 of the R617FS receivers in various planes and helicopters, bought at local hobbyshops for around $100 each (In Australia) they are an excellent receiver.

If you are happy to try some cheaper versions I can highly recommend this receiver.. I have 5 of them, 3 in Helis and two in Fixed wing aircraft and more than 2 years of reliable operation with all of them.

They have been just as good as the 617FS in my experience for a fraction of the cost.

Here are a couple of vids showing the receivers in action..

Failing that, try local hobbyshops.. if you buy a few they might give you a deal.
