Default Which Futaba 2.4 Receiver to use?

I have a 12 year old 71" Wingspan, Ziroli P-47 War Bird with a Gas Zenoah 3.8 Engine. I have been flying it with a Futaba 72 System on Channel 22, Futaba FP-R129DP Dual Conversion PCM Receiver. It has worked great for years and maybe the KISS System should apply.

I am thinking about converting it to 2.4 so I will be using the same Transmitter for all my aircraft. The P-47 is the last plane that I have on 72.

I have three Futaba Receivers that I can use. I do not need the high speed function with digital servos for this aircraft. I just want a reliable system. All three receivers have been well tested in other aircraft that I fly.

Futaba R617FS, Futaba R6008HS or Futaba 6014HS

Thanks,

Ed

the 7ch fast system should be perfect. I use the 6ch, 7ch & 8ch for my birds, edfs,warbirds and sport planes.

All will do the job for you. Your main consideration is which transmitter do you wish to use? If you want an excellent value with regards to options. programming, and flexibility, then you should consider the 8FG transmitter. The 7C, which is a good transmitter, is much more limited.

Here's the place to compare features:

Any of those Futaba FASST aircraft receivers will work nicely for you.
