Default Receiver Selection

I have been waiting for a month or so for the new Minima 6 receiver to come out so I can switch all my electrics over to my new Aurora 9. I just learned that the release date was pushed back to late June and that is just too long for me to wait. So I was thinking of ordering the Optima 6 lite in its stead. A little heavier but think it will work. My question is can this receiver (Optima Lite) also be used in my larger glow aircraft, namely .60-.90 size?

Thanks, Dust

Yes, it is in fact the same as the standard Optima 6 channel transceiver with a lighter shell.
Optima Receivers - Light Weight. Optima_6 LITE Transceiver, Minima 6E & 6T Receivers.
- Minima are compatible only with Spectra Module V3.01 or higher. .


However, especially if used in a GP model, use the Hitec flight preserver referenced:
Aurora 9 - Radio System Includes - Stylus, Screen cleaner,
Flight Preserver, Battery Holder/Switch for ID Setup & BODA Holder - see pictures.
