Hello Guys,

I was asked this same question a few weeks ago about the Orange HK "clone" receivers. I fly Align products in my helis and have always been pleased, expensive but I am pleased and you get what you pay for. I did try a HK "clone heli" and found that while it was flyable the short comings were clear in the machine work and part failures. Heres where I am going with this, everytime I purchase new HK batteries which I love I "ALWAYS" unsolder the ends and replace them. I have found time and again that they are poorly soldered from the factory and........sometimes have had cold joints. So with this all said, to put up a Helicopter of like $1,200.00 to $2,000.00 in the air, I dont not want to be "penny wise" and pound foolish. Here is a site where you can buy DELIVERED brand new AR6100e Specktrum receiver's for $22.00 which is a far cry from the $50.00 retail here plus tax. Now the question comes again, do you buy an Orange receiver for like $13.00 plus shipping or for less than $15.00 more buy the best?? It's you decision guys, I have made mine.

PS: because they sell them so cheap they will only let you buy (1) per order. This means that you need to log in and buy with two different purchase's making two separted orders, a pain yes.............but worth the reward. We here in Los Angeles have been doing this for sometime now and have always been pleased.
