Default RE: receiver question

You can order the GWS RD8SL Dual Conversion 8-channel receiver from Hobby City for $24.99:

This excellent receiver is shift selectable and will work with JR/Airtronics transmitters as well as Futaba/Hitec/Tower Hobbies transmitters. It comes set to negative shift (Futaba) by default and uses the exact same type of crystal as Dual Conversion Futaba receivers. You can put your Futaba dual conversion crystal in this receiver and it will work perfectly. Hobby City sells the GWS dual conversion crystals for $3.99 if you'd prefer a new one, however

I own two of these and I am flying one in my King Kobra and my Ace Seamaster. My friend Fred is flying one in his Thunder Tiger Imagine 50 pattern plane. We fly high up, far out, and very fast with these GWS receivers and I've never seen a radio glitch with any of them. I have as much confidence in this absolute gem of a receiver as I do in my Hitec Supreme II receivers and my Futaba R127DF receivers.

Nobody would blame you for not wanting to pay Futaba's price. There are plenty of great alternatives for less.
