I ordered one from Altitude Hobbies. Slowly transitioning into Spektrum from Tactic. I bought a new DX6E. Anyone use Lemons? likes-dislikes? Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I and my friends have used a bunch of Lemon receivers over the years as well as the re-branded Lemon receivers that Motion RC sells under their Admiral brand name. Quite a few 6 channel units (both with and without diversity antennas) for my foam airplanes and for my six Tiny Toni pylon racers because they are so light. Several 7 channel units with telemetry functions for power monitoring, altimeter and variometer. The variometers are very useful on gliders. The Energy Meter is nice for keeping track of the battery mah actually used during flight, especially on my high current draw Avanit-S jet where a slight throttle reduction can add significant flying time. I can fly longer when I know the actual battery status instead of listening for a timer alarm. I also have an eight channel stabilized receiver (essentially AS3X) and it functions very well. I can tell a difference on windy/gusty days when trying to hover my E-flite Extra 300. Several of the old Lemon models are being replaced by new updated Gen2 models, so look at the Altitude Hobbies website to see what is new. I just bought one of the new Gen2 model LM0087T ten channel receivers with telemetry altitude reporting, Energy Meter power monitoring, 6-way stability gyros, two BEC power ports and a satellite port. Altitude Hobbies has this one for $53, which is cheaper and also has more features than the 7 channel receiver it replaces. I have not had a chance to fly it in anything yet, but it looks like a keeper. I do have two minor issues when I am flying my high dollar gassers. !) Lemon's do not support data logging to show how many frame losses have occurred, although they do relay Relative Signal Strength (RSS) information, which is an indication of received signal strength, and 2) they only have one satellite port whereas I desire at least 2 and preferably 3 satellite receivers for my gassers. That said, the receivers have displayed solid RF links and have never caused a receiver related crash, I did have one hard landing that resulted from a loss of power during a landing flare due to a bad solder connection on the Energy Meter sensor (shunt) device. It worked fine again after I re-soldered it. Don't be afraid to buy a Lemon...good bang for the buck and better than the Orange Rx/satellite that I threw in the trash after it glitched multiple times on base and final and almost crashed my Pulse XT.

I plan on upgrading a vintage shoulder wing NORA airplane. Originally flew with 49mhz equipment, going to 2.4g . The ultralight lemon receivers are a great option to spektrum and will help lighten this 1980's fiberglass hog.​

The Lemon RX LM0034Z 6-Ch DSMP Receiver (DSMX/DSM2 Compatible) should be perfect for the NORA. About 7 grams and no external antennas.
