Default RE: HobbyKing OrangeRx Futaba FASST Compatible 8Ch 2.4Ghz Receiver

Here in New Zealand my flying buddy and I have been using FrSkyTF 8 channel receivers with complete success using Futaba CAP 10 with TM 10 module transmitters. The receivers were purchased from Himodel in mainland China. We are often airborn at the same time and at extreme range. The present production are plastic cased not shrink wrapped. For those who want more than 8 channels, a second receiver can be linked to provide 14 channels. I am a retired avionics engineer and cannot fault the quality of construction. I understand the resistance to buying Asian goods, but where do you draw the line? Check out rcmodelreview where this receiver was given a comprehensive testing and comparison.
