RE: Futaba receivers
NO! I do not subscribe to the Idea that more expensive is better!; when I switched to 2.4GHz I went ahead and purchased the more expensive Futaba 2.4GHz Receivers, that was before the Hobby King Orange were available or that I became aware of them, at that time, I continued to use the 72MHz Receivers in my least expensive planes and certainly my Combat Planes, I wasn't about to put expensive Futaba 2.4 RXs in my Combat Planes that were prone to midairs and possible destruction of the receivers; then when Hobby King Orange were available I bought a bunch of them to replace the 72MHz Receivers in my combat Planes and all my other less expensive planes so my entire fleet in now on 2.4GHz, I would not have a problem putting the less expensive Hobby King Orange 2.4GHz Receivers in any plane.
