Default 18sz/2- rx

Can any 2 rx be coupled and used with the 18SZ? I am aware that 2- 7008's can be used, but can 2- 2008's be used or 1- 7008 and 1- 2008??????

You can link as many receivers as you want to is each model type. It works like this:

1) the receivers have to be the same protocol on each model,so
FASSTest+FASSTest
FASST+FASST
SFHSS+SFHSS
TFHSS+TFHSS
You cannot mix and match

2) When using FASSTest 18-channel mode you can use 2x7008 and link in Dual RX Mode which allows you to have channels 1-8 on RX #1 and 9-16 on RX #2

3) All other protocols give you the same number of channels (same channels) on all receivers.

so if using 2 x 2008, you only get 8 channels? No difference than using a y- harness?

Correct 2x2008 gives you the same 8 channels from each RX. The advantage is on a larger plane you can split the load between the 2 receivers if you want to.

With 2 x 7008 and one battery for both Rx. Is there some way to connect one rx to another to transfer power? With out using a y harness to split the battery to both Rx?

The easiest way is to simply get a male/male extension. Several places sell them. Plug into any open port including the S.Bus2 port. They are all wired in common. I always suggest doing this simply because that way you preserve the power redundancy when splitting the plane. Batteries and switches fail far more often than receivers fail.
