Best Receiver
Karlton (the MPX USA importer) has a sale about once a year and you can get them at an even better price. As for reliability, I have been flying brand M for 1.5 years now. I have three 9 ch IPD RXs and two 12 ch IPDs and have never yet had a problem in any way that was not operator error (my fault). Rock solid with far better range than I ever had with Futaba or JR (just my experience here after 29 years). I believe that Johnny uses the Graupner MC-24 TX with his MPX RXs. It is basically a Euro JR and will accept the USA JR TX modules. I gotta agree with Lee that I never take anything for granted with new equipment. I've been burned that way with both Futaba & JR in the past, luckily it was pre-turbine. But I am now paranoid. So every new MPX RX I buy, I have it shipped to Ernie Pritchard, the USA MPX repair tech in Arizona (great guy, fast turn around) for him to give it the once over. Just makes me feel better.
