I had a nose crash with my trainer
- luckily the reciever futaba 617 , survived since I had kept it in a plastic case - after I saw a fellow flier breaking his recievr in a crash.The plastic case broke , but reciever was Ok .I tested it wit a thumping heart - to my amazement it was working fine( hats off to Futaba - really rugged)
.
It was problem to have a spare reciever for futaba 617 costs 95$.
At hobby king I saw HK7 2.4 ( 7 ch with 8 ch reciver for 60$. no battery for Rxr).I got a 11.1 Lipo for rxr.
I got one with a spare reciver ( 28$) Total cost with spare reciver - $88, whereas a futaba 617 Reciver itself costs 95$!
I have yet to try it out yet .
Has anyone used HK 7 ,hw is it's performance
Even the CD supplied with set is just nothing much beyond basics
Can anyone give some views ?
