R149DP
I had finally gotten my confidence level in the R149DP up enough to test fly my 33% H9 Edge this weekend and then I read this thread this morning.

What filters did they replace and why? Do all the receivers need to have this modification done or did the receiver I got from Tower a month ago already have it done?
I've done a range check with and wthout the DA100 running and I get 130 ft. with the antenna fully collapsed ( 9CAP ) and I put the receiver in a small glow plane and flew it with no incidents.
I'm running 4 JR 2731 servos ( w/matchboxes ) on the ailerons, 2 JR 8611's on the elevator halves and 1 8611 on the rudder. Power is 2 X 1800 mah ni-cads on two switches.
One other quick question: I have the elevator halves on Ch. 2 and 7. There is a noticable lag in the Ch. 7 half. Is this normal or is there something in my setup causing this?

RE: R149DP
In a crash, it is normal for ceramic filters to become damaged. Severe impact can cause considerable damage to the internal components of a receiver. High levels of vibration that are allowed to get to a receiver are also a cause of damage to electronic components. That's why a receiver should have about 1/2" of foam rubber around it that's not compressed.
When you mix two channels, there will be some delay between them. It's because the channels are processed in order by the transmitter. Channel 1 gets done first, then channel 2, then 3, and so on. There is enough of a time differential between channels 2 and 7 that you can notice it. It's normal for almost all R/C systems. The new Futaba 14MZ has different processing which makes the delay very much minimized.
