Default FUTABA FASST Compatibility

I have a Futaba 2.4 radio and I want to use that with my new Chapman 580 cap flat out. The problem is that the FASST receiver is huge, way to heavy for this type of application. I do not think FUTABA makes a micro FASST receiver - so here is the question. Is my radio compatible with other manufacturer's 2.4 ghz receivers?

And if so, which one should I buy???

Thanks in advance - I am used to flying the big ones and would like to have something that I can play with in the back yard.

No, you can only use Futaba 2.4GHz RXs.

This lack of selection of Futaba RXs was the main reason I went with a Spektrum DX7 instead of Futaba 2.4GHz radio/module. Spektrum already has several micro and full size RXs to choose from for their systems. I'm sure Futaba will eventually come out with some smaller RXs.

Its just like PCM, they are brand specific (jr and spectrum being the same brand)

Rumor has it that Castle Creations is working on 2.4ghz receivers!

Does the rumor say who they plan to be compatible with? Spektrum/JR, Futaba?
