RE: ONE RECEIVER OR TWO??
Well I totally agree that a proper installation is absolutely necessary. If you do stupid stuff like strapping your RX to a wing tube or wooden former with no foam cushioning at all you are just asking for a failure no matter what or how many you components you install. As for my position on this two vs one deal, when Mike Hurley writes that people who install two rx are "ignorant of the facts" I get pretty pissed! That is an ignorant statement in itself. And to be honest it is really beginning to sound like a JR company line.......... whether it is true or not.
Obviously there are plenty of guys running both setups and having success. My position is that the second receiver gives me an OPPORTUNITY to possibly save my plane if there is ever a rx failure....that is all. I do it purely for redundancy and that is all. As Doug stated before, as long as you are willing to risk the single point of failure than one receiver will obviously work fine. I am personally not willing to risk it no matter how small the possibilty may be.
