Hitec and Futaba
I know this has been asked many times but sorry I need to ask again.
Can a Hitec servo and receiver work well with a Futaba TX?
If yes, will I need a Futaba crystal to go into the receiver?

RE: Hitec and Futaba
Yes, your servos will work with the Futaba.
Some Hitec receivers will work with some Futaba transmitters. You'll have to look at the specific models to verify for certain.
No, you should use the Hitec crystals with the Hitech receiver.

RE: Hitec and Futaba
Virtually any servo will work with any RX as long as the plugs are the same size. Some micro servos have smaller plugs.
As for The RX's, as long as the Hitec RX is set up for the same modulation (AM,FM) and the same shift (Positive, Negative) and on the same frequency it should work. Use a Hitec crystal in a Hitec RX. If you are ordering a new RX just tell the clerk what you are working with and they should be able to match you up fine. Hitec makes RX's that will work and those that will not so get the correct one. And order a RX with sufficient channels of course. Also be sure to get a "full range" RX.

RE: Hitec and Futaba
The Mini 6S is listed as a Park Flyer RX. I would not consider using it in a regular plane unless you contact Hitec and they give their blessing. It is a short range RX. From the Tower page: FEATURES: Mini Size for Park Flyers

RE: Hitec and Futaba
You should hop over to the Futaba or Hitec forums and ask your question, but here's the setup in my MUS: Hitec Neutron 6S receiver, 6677232 (Channel 32) RX Crystal AM/FM 32 72430 and Hitec HS56 servos. Radio is Futaba 9C Super.

Specifically you want to know if your radio is compatible with the Hitec Neutron 6S receiver, 6677232 (or whatever your channel is) RX Crystal AM/FM (order your channel #) 72430.
If they say OK this is a great setup, better than typical Park Flyer level.
At that point you might as well go ahead and get the micro Hitec HS56 servos and keep it all in the Hitec family. :-)

RE: Hitec and Futaba
The [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLBY9&P=7]Berg 7ch receiver [/link] will work with Futaba, Hitec and JR transmitters. I have several and have never had any issues with them. They are a full range receiver and extremely light. They'll work with just about any servo (I use them in my lighter weight 1/2A to .15 powered planes I generally fly with HS-55 and HS-65 HB servo's).

WestCoastFlyer, this is his radio: http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/4yf-manual.pdf may have different RX or servos listed.

Yes that combination of servos/Rx and Tx will work just fine together however that Rx is for parkies. And very likely with that Half A trainer you will fly to far out wasteing your investment. For that airplane use any of the full range Hitec shift selectable, auto shift or negative shift Rx's.

Tell you what, show me what a poor product researcher I am and tell me about a better Hitec 72 mini receiver.

RE: Hitec and Futaba
OK, 2 problems here. First is the errors in the Tower site. Tower says the 6S is a Park RX but Hitec says it is full range on their site http://www.hitecrcd.com/receivers/show?name=Mini-6S
The second error is by WestCoast Flyer, both Tower and Hitec state that the Hitec 6S is a single conversion RX.
Ya want better? I like this one better http://www.hitecrcd.com/receivers/show?name=Neutron+6S it is dual conversion.

You should probably check your facts before you say someone made an error.

No. I researched before I bought a Hitec mini receiver and this was the best I found. Dual Conversion, auto gain/shift. Better than park.

"NO" Oh really, so you are suggesting my statement that the original posters exact combination of listed components will not function together. Interesting Seams it works for me regardless of your "RESEARCH"
Perhaps what provoked all the profound anger and this rash of Basic Combat Posting 101 from you is the second half of my original post that you also quoted. Which states my opinion and preferance not to use a Parkie Rx in any aircraft that may not be flown close in.
Now I could care less What hitecs or anyones website lists as a parkie Rx or not. What is and always been the deciding factor for me is I would never use any Hitec single conversion RX in any aircraft that required normal range. Its a simple concept, its always worked for me and that will never change except now the point is moot since my last seven flight packs are 2.4 and will have two of the new Hitecs 2.4 packs off the first boat.
If that angers you West Coast Flyer Well so be it It is my opinion. You certainly will not change it and it will continue to be my recomendation to anyone. Have a nice day and I am done with this thread.

Evidently people in this thread are confusing two different receivers, that's the only way to explain this thread.
And John, I've never made an angry post in this forum.

RE: Hitec and Futaba
According to Hitec's own website, this receiver IS full range so we will leave it at that.
http://www.hitecrcd.com/receivers/show?name=Mini-6S
And I already have all these components so I wanna use what I have, that's why I asked to begin with.

There is no misunderstanding and never was I was responding to the Op and only the Op Not you WestCoastFlyer. His subject Rx happens to be the twenty buck Mini 6s that is the direct link he listed twice, That is the subject Rx in his question.
Agine it will work with his Skyport and HS55's and once agine There is no way I would ever use that Rx (Hitec mini 6s) in anything ever likely to get much further out than a small parkie.

RE: Hitec and Futaba
The OP referenced the MINI 6S in his posts. I admit missing the fact that you posted the Neutron as it was irrelevant to his posting and easily missed. I still don't like the Mini for ANYTHING other than a Park Flyer and feel shd3920 is making a mistake by using it but he can be hardheaded at times.
