RE: Hitec feather with futaba transmitter?
From reviews and comments here, don't expect the range of a full performance receiver. Do a search for "feather" and especially see http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_38...tm.htm#384750/
For a problem free small receiver with full range get a HiTec 555.

Don't get the 555. It's outmoded. By their new Electron 6. Like the 555, it's dual conversion, however it's lighter and has one more channel.
I can get well over 700 feet of range with my feather before I start getting a hint of glitching.

I use Hitec receivers in all of my park flyers and I use a Futaba 9C transmitter. It works great for me.

Yes, but go with the electron 6.
When I fly with others the feather gets swamped and I frequently lose all control of the plane. Flying alone is rock solid.
Also, with the 6 channel you can add flaps or spoilers.
