Default RE: ONE RECEIVER OR TWO??

Then you're using 2 receivers for the right reasons.. My problem is there are a lot of people out there saying you MUST run 2 receivers because of current draw or whatever.. and that's simply not true.

As for saving an aircraft when a receiver failed.. I've done it myself on my old Carden 41% Giles G-202. It wasn't actually the receiver that failed.. but the receiver lost power when the switch failed and I DID land the airplane on half the airplane operating.

That said.. I DO believe I get better reception using only 1 receiver. People can choose to believe my opinion or not.. it's up to them.
