What Micro servo for Futaba 8fg??
« on: May 13, 2012, 19:41:29 PM »
Hi gents,

Was wondering if someone could recommend a micro receiver for my Futaba 8fg?

Doesn't have to be Futaba as I have an 8ch Orange Rx which is too big for my Weasel??

Thanks in advance

Adam

Not sure how small it needs to be to fit a Weasel, but I have a FrSky TFR6 in my Speedo which wouldn't accommodate a Futaba 617 rx - or at least not at the front where I wanted to put it.  The rx works fine,  in fact I was flying it this evening.
Remember, up is up, and down is down.  Except when inverted - when down is up, and up can be very expensive

Yes, the TFR6 is very compact. I have a couple of spares in my stock and would photograph one in my hand for you to see if it weren't for gale force winds, wasn't pi**ing down and if my garage/hangar was attached to my house.

Maybe tomorrow, eh?

And have been very reliable, I have many of each (except the molex plugged which are too restricting for the tiny weight gain for me!)
