Hi all. What are the differences between the Futaba R607FS and the R617FS receivers? They look the same, weigh the same, have the same number of channels and cost the same.

Thanks,
David

Thank you, Carrell. It looks like there's no reason to buy the 607 if the 617 is "improved," assuming I read the FAQ correctly.

The responsetime of the 607 is about 5ms faster, better for planks.

The 617 minimizes pulstrain-differences of the helis swapplate

What's the source of your information?

Thanks!

Hi Lars,

me, my scope and my testing procedure from hand to servo-start since about 10 years .

e g look the diagram here: http://members.aon.at/flug.fiala/reaktion.html

And difference 607/617: http://members.aon.at/flug.fiala/T7R6x7beide.jpg

The cause: For an overleaping output of channels 6 and 1, channel 1 must wait until receiving of ch6.

Greetings from Vienna, Rudy

So when mixing channel one and six the reaction / response time is faster with the R617FS, right?

I'm not sure what the technical differences are, but the Futaba R607FS was discontinued so I presume the Futaba R617FS just replaces it.

Yup, it replaced the R607FS two years ago
I bought one of the R607FS receivers when Tower was getting rid of the last of the stock, saved a few bucks, and in a planker like a 4 Star 60, no detectable difference.
