Default Small receiver??

Greetings,

First of all, thanks for all the engine help. I went with the bearing engine, and am sure I'll be pleased.

In addition, I had a chance to see a SPAD Gnat fly yesterday, and am building a couple for combat at a local club. I need a suitable, small receiver that fits in the space between the leading edge wing fold (about .5" high at most). Most had been using the Hitec Feather. However, I noticed that Tower Hobbies has the feather as discontinued, but still have the model for JR radios in stock (I have Futabas). Anybody know of a possible substitute that's slim, with servo plugs on the short edge? (The plugs have to lay in the same direction as the length of the receiver, as it's sandwiched between two pieces of coro). The Futaba super micro is only recommended for park flyers, and the R114F is a bit larger, and $10 more, and also says "for park or slow flyers".

Has anyone used the GWS Pico? I haven't really heard anything about them.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
-Pat-
