I don't think you'll get much smaller than the first one on your list, E2V...I shopped about for ages when I wanted a tiny rx for my little Kilo, and found this one was about the smallest. And they work well underwater too...bonus.

After a few hours searching I had come to the same conclusion ah well.... it should fit in the little project I have lined up
and yes it will be going underwater  :-))  (deliberately that is)

How many channels do you need?
If you can find a 2 channel it may be smaller as it has half the job to do?

very nice... and quite pricy too.
I think I can get away with the corona synth for now.
But those micro RC planes look very very interesting

Well you're paying for European rather than Chinese labour rates, plus much smaller market (no pun intended) for this type of kit. The Corona receivers are superb value for money, and can be made smaller if you are able to carefully unsolder the plugs from the board, and hard wire the servos in.

Cheers for the replies guys... I need at least 3 channels and can't use 2.4ghz as its a diving model.
