Newbie looking for Reciever help
Ihave a Futaba Skysport T4YF witha FP-R127DF reciever that is set up for 7ch. I am going to use this in a 2ch application and the reciever is too long (won't fit) I need to know what reciever that I can buy (2ch) that I can use with this transmitter. The TX is on 72.650 (43) FM. I see where I can change the crystal on the TX but not on the RX. Thanks for your help Newbie Out!

RE: Newbie looking for Reciever help
The smallest Futaba 72MHz receiver is the R114F 4-Channel FM Receiver. You would need to transfer your channel 43 receiver crystal from the R127DF receiver. I do not know a 2 channel in 72MHz.
Length: 1-1/4" (31.75mm)

RE: Newbie looking for Reciever help
That one is really too small. I was thinking a Futaba R124H when I look up yhe crystals it says (43) is AM my radio is (43) and it is FM. Now my head is starting to hurt. I'm so confused.

RE: Newbie looking for Reciever help
Your radio is an FM type. The AM receiver is NOT compatible with your FM radio. FM is also called PPM. 72MHz is for U.S. aircraft use. 75MHz is for U.S. surface use (rc cars/trucks). That's why I said the R114F was the closest match I could find.
Here is the Futaba receiver information web site.

Would recommend that you do not change the Tx crystal to change its frequency. Often times when you change the Tx crystal, the Tx RF section needs to be retuned to get full/proper output.
