I don't trust those cheap orange clones enough to recommend one.
I wish the industry would settle in on a single 2.4ghz setup so that we can return to the days where a Spektrun transmitter, Futaba receiver, JR and Hitec servos would all work.As it stands to have to match Tx and Rx brands or they won't bind, or stick with FM.
Re: Orange
It depends upon which one?
I lost a plane to the seven channel full range variety, and ripped out a second identical RX after another plane came close to destruction.
I don't trust them because of direct empirical evidence.
However the park flyer ( shorter range ) ones have been fantastic for me. No issues what so ever... and I've flown them out to Giant Scale ranges w/o signal loss, etc.
Re: Industry.
I wish that too... but remember that industries LOVE proprietary hardware to help avoid cheaper competing products, so don't hold your breath.
Whenever a legal clone appears the major players try to shift their own standards too, so as to retain their profit margins.
