The receiver was set up as a self contained, redundant setup for "traditionallly" sized aircraft without having to feel like they should resort to a 3rd party redundant high power distribution board and then there was the list of advanced capabilities it has that many won't even know what they are or how they would benefit us (me included). I bet a P-60 sized sport jet would be fine on this alone but I still would use a Smart Fly board, myself!!
