The receiver that came with the 6EX transmitter that I purchased is the R607FS receiver.  I notice online that it looks like only the R617FS receiver is being sold now, so I assume that the 607 is an older version. 
Can you tell me what the difference is between the two?

Status: offline 		The R607FS had a component change from the factory, which results in an increased speed. Since there was a difference in the components, Futaba Japan renamed the R607FS to the R617FS to reflect the new part.

There is nothing wrong with the older R607FS, other than being a little slower. The difference in speed is not something the normal flyer would even notice.

Status: offline 		I have 4 of the R608FS 8 channel receivers and see that they have been discontinued and replaced with the new R6008HS 8 channel receiver. Can you tell me the difference in the two and were there any issues with the older R608FS that prompted them to be replaced?  I have not installed the R608FS receivers in any of my aircraft yet and wonder now if I should replace them with the newer receiver due to any problems that may exist with the older R608FS receiver?   Also, can I use either of the 8 channel spread spectrum receivers with the new 10 channel 2.4 radio transmitter?

Status: offline 		The R6008HS receiver replaces the R608FS receiver.  The change was to make operation better when you use digital servos.  The receiver can send higher-frequency pulses to digital servos, which increases holding power and resolution.  The R608FS was discontinued because there is no need for both receivers.  The R6008HS works in regular and high-speed mode.  You make the decision when you install the system.  The instructions come with the receiver on the high-speed mode.

Status: offline 		Thank you for answering most of my questions; however, you didn't address if either one of these 8 channel receivers can be used with the new 10channel 2.4 ghz transmitter.  Is the 8 channel receiver (either the R608FS or the R6008HS) compatible with the new 10 channel 2.4ghz transmitter?
Thank you.

Status: offline 		I have no clue if I am in the right place and already tried to post this to the Futaba forum and now can't find my question, so assume I won'y find your respone, so am starting over. Here goes (again). I have done everything the manual says to do and what a Futaba tech told me to do when I e-mailed the Futaba web site and it still dos not work. I need to mount two HiTec 645s to the elevator of my gasser, and one goes in channel 2 and one in 5, I get that. I have a 7c-2.4, brand new. The tech said to set the ailerons to 20% in Ailvator, then in parameters, set chan 5 to -, with the right servo in channel 2 and the left in 5. As soon as I turn on the receiver and radio, the channel 5 servo goes to max and stays there, regardless of anything I can figure out to do. Channel 2 servo works as expected. I do not want to use a reversing y-harness or a matchbox. I want the new radio to work like it is supposed to.

What am I doing wrong?

Status: offline 		You're using channel 5 for the second elevator servo. That's the gear channel. You'll see that if you flip the gear switch, the servo will move to the other extreme. Try channel 6 or 7 for the second elevator. If you don't want the elevators to act as ailerons, then you set the aileron action to 0% in the Ailevator function.
