Receiver Range
I'm just starting out on electric flight soarer's in the UK (35Mhz) and require an Rx (Futaba) for a 2 mtr soarer. Can anyone help me with a site link that will provide me with information relating to the distance at which receiver signals can be picked up? eg: what type of receiver I should use for approx 1 mile radius signal (last thing I want is to loose plane on first flight). Thanks in advance.

If you are looking or receivers for your FM Futaba radio, I can recommend the Hitec micro 555 five channel and Hitec Electron 6 six channel micro receivers. They are tiny, light and both have ranges in excess of 1 mile or over 1.6 KM. Hitec has Futaba compatible receiver in the US, I am sure they also have them for the UK.

RE: Receiver Range
All brands of transmitters and receivers are compatible with each other, without regard for the whole positive/negative shift thing outside the USA and Canada. They're all positive shift, even Futabas and Hitecs.
