I have the 6ex in my predator II, and it works great.

Hi Trevor
If you are using 2.4 is it the DX7 Spextrum, and if so how do you get on mounting the double receiver/aerial, as I was under the impression the second receiver/aerial had to be mounted at 90degs and 6'' away. This makes Futaba's single receiver a better opption.

Yes Geoff, the receivers are mounted at right angles- aerials similarly and seperated by the interconnecting wire, about as you say
150 mm- this is what I did-I cyanoed the smaller receiver to the balsa fuselage in the correct direction, and then bubblewrapped the main receiver. This way at least the smaller receiver is always at 90 degrees- if the glue fails( I doubt it very much) I maybe in strife. I would take a digital photo but I have left my digital camera somewhere between here and a building site...................
to recap the smaller receiver runs the aerials vertical( up the fuselage side), the larger receiver bubble wrapped horizontally. ( lying flat) The only operating difference I noted was I did miss ( for a short time)the length of aerial that I was familiar with emerging out of the top of my previous transmitter. The spektrum aerial is only 150mm......but does fold. Why did I change from my JRPCM10- -it was time to upgrade-my pcm 10 is 8 years old ; the spektrum was available at that time, admittedly I do sell spektrum as a retailer- in fact I have sold 5 since March. Maybe the futaba has better credentials.....................that I do not know. big t [:-]

I have the futaba 6EX, works great, receiver real easy to fit, I would just like to be able to assign the fail safe to channels other than throttle, so that I can have engine cutoff on a switch.

My Feedback: (13)

Guys: For whatever its worth, I have one of the new small "Burg" 6 channel receivers in a Q-500 type airframe, jett 60LX powered. It has been working flawlessly for a month or so. Only thing I don't like about the receiver is the very small antenna line it comes with, very small and kinks easially.

yes, smeone had told me about one of those , the only complaint, tongue in cheek, I guess was its small size, trevor h[:@]nz
