RE: receiver question
Ron,
The simple answer is "No". There several discussions regarding this in the "Gas Engine", & "Giant Scale" forums, and they get very heated and involved at times. But they all still conclude that set-up is more important than receiver type. Pretty interesting reading too.

No it is not necessary to use a PCM receiver to run a gas engine.
