Spektrum AR6110 Parkflyer Rx
I was wondering if anyone has any range data on this reciever? Im usung a DX6i Tx and im using it on a YardBird RC YB-22 that is fitted with a FPV camera. I like to fly high and far and i have been limiting myself to my range until i find out how far i can go with it. Well any info would be helpful. Also when using the AR6200 how should i mount the Main reciever and the Slave reciever? Should one be vertical and the other horizonal? and which should be where?

RE: Spektrum AR6110 Parkflyer Rx
Our club put on a flying clinic for an adult camp in a limited space. This place was out in the country and the limiting factors were tall trees. We used flying wings (Swift) and the JR parkflyer receiver AR6100. I have a new respect for this receiver. It performed very well and a couple of the airplanes were so far away the instructor could not even tell which direction the plane was flying. I would not use the 6100 on a glider though, I would go with the new JR intended for gliders.
As for the full range JR spectrum receivers I usualy mount my main receiver on a bed of foam on the bottom of the aircraft. Satilight recievers go on the side of the fuse with antenna at 90 deg. to the main receivers antenna. Hope this is helpful.

The 6110 is just a new version of the 6100. It's a little smaller and has the antennas at right angles to each other. Don't expect any more range from a 6110 than the 6100 receivers. It will work fine in park flyers, but if you have a plane that you plan to fly out at extreme distances, get a the AR500 or better full range receiver. I have AR6100's in a pair of Strykers, and I fly them out pretty far, but ParkZone puts the AR500 in the Radian (sailplane) and the new BNF BL Mustangs (39" wingspan park flyer).

The term park flyer is only for commercial reasons. It is a full range receiver.
I fly pylonracers with it, no problems at all. It has a out of sight range.
good receiver.

I dunno, guys. I just talked to Horizon Tech suppt. today regarding my 6000 and the 6100. They are both "parkflyer" recievers. I was thinking of the 500 as well when I asked him just what is the actual range on the 6000 and the 6100. He told me the range was 600' to 1000'. Six hundred feet is 3 football fields. If you think about it, a parkflyer can become pretty small that far away, so 1,000' seems pretty adequate for most "parkflyers".

I use the 6100s with a DX6i in foamies that I've taken high and far enough that they're only a speck in the sky and had no issues at all.
