Futaba fasst RX and Hobby King orange RX is this normal?
I have both and today I found out the one big basic difference. The pitch and aileron functions work the same except the elevator function. On the Futaba RX all three swash servos move correctly during elevator inputs. On the HK Orange fasst RX when using the elevator function only the elevator servo moves and the other two don't unlike the Futaba RX but the servos work properly on all other functions. This could be a problem for the 3D guys but for me I think it will work fine has anyone else seen this?

Not sure but Im thinking it would have something to do with mixing in the Transmitter, recievers dont mix functions on their own, they need to be told what to do by the Tx.

Turns out it was my radio settings I had it on HE3 when it should have been HR3. Thanks for your help.

I'm thinking HK left out one function path to save money

I use both genuine FASST RXs and Orange Fasst recievers in helis and they perform identically in every way.. except cost..

I tested them extensively before trusting them in any of my Helis and they get my Thumbs up of approval..
here is a vid I made of one of the range tests... I stopped at 3 kilometers that was good enough for me.. , it worked perfectly.. .. Great Receivers.
