17 out of 21 guys that flew in the last TOC used a dual receiver setup. Jason Shulman told me directly that he absolutely recommends two in anything 35% or larger. I have had a brand new receiver fail and seen several others fail for one reason or another. My $4000-$7000 aircraft will absolutely have a dual receiver setup. I thought what Mike Hurley said in that article was just pure BS! I don't have the article in front of me but I believe he said that anyone that runs two receivers was just "ignorant of the facts"! Really????? So I guess the brand new receiver that failed on me was just my ignorance!! Wow..I'm so glad I now know why there was a bad solder joint on the board.......it was because I was F#@%#$ ignorant!!!! I spose it's just "ignorant" to give yourself a shot at getting your plane down in one piece in the event I do have a receiver problem! Thanks Mike for setting me straight on that one.......

The other interesting thing is that all the guys that argue against a dual receiver setup seem to be JR supporters. Perhaps there is an issue here with JR receivers when used in pairs? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that most of their Rx are single conversion? I have never had any problems or noticed any significant reduction in range when using two rx. I'm not saying that technically there isn't a reduction in range but I would be absolutely shocked if I could fly far enough away to have the "dual receiver range degradation" issue become a factor.
