I purchased one used as a starter radio for my son's trainer 3 years ago. Works fine every time. We still use regularly.

Default It's a good one!

Ditto what gotrain says, although mine was bought for me! I learned on it and so did my daughter and son.

I was flying it last week in their/my old Eagle 2 just for old times' sake. Worked great.

thanks guys. it's great to know there are ppl that still use it. i'm looking into getting a used one for a starting base. do you know if is it a narrowed band or wide band radio? do you have a picture of your Max 4?

thanks.

Absolutely it's narrow band.

I remember doing a bench test on this particular receiver and it blew the doors off a Futaba AM receiver. Much more sensitive and selective and considerably more dynamic range.

Due to the unpopularity of AM any more, you shouldn't be paying much for it. If it's working properly, it's a fine little radio.

great, as long as it's narrow band, then i'll be ok, since the tx and rx are still in good condition.

cheers....

what kind of servos do you use with the JR MAX 4 radio?

It came with JR 507s which I'm still using in other airplanes.

Any current production servo will work, of course, with appropriate connectors.
