In other words, with the EX Buss connected, as long as 1 receiver received the signal correctly, both receivers will get the information?
Wayne,
are you going to use the receivers ONLY or are you planning to use a Central box or Powerbox as well? Only in this case you are right, without the extra device you'll only have seven channels and of course no full redundancy, because you have to connect your servos to one of the receivers. If you are under the assumption that you could wire receivers in series to get more channels, you are wrong. We discussed this topic earlier.
