Futaba receivers
« on: April 20, 2016, 03:43:06 pm »

HI Guys, Just been on Banggood site, they have Cooltec, Futaba, Fhss, compatible recievers, 8 channel for £15-50 post free, they are a good company not like some of the chinese firms. Worth a look, just bought 3 for the price of 1 Futaba

Do let us know how you get on with them. Apart from their very first digital propo sets (in the early 1970's), Futaba have never been known for competitive pricing. That's just one of the many reasons I no longer use their gear.

Slightly off piste, but no planet clone out there.
Were they only marketed in UK ?
90% of our club members have the planet sets.
I'm OK with my Spectrum and St Clement's  :-))

If you are referring to the 'Delta 8' FHSS compatibles, I have two of them. Although not yet installed in models they have been bench tested and work just fine. No problems with binding and all channels operating ok.

Netleyned, Planet seemed to be a UK import only, no one in europe seems to have heard of them, as to a clone, they were so cheep anyway i dont think anyone could make them cheap enough to make a profit, tell your mates to sell and buy within the club, those with a bit of cash could change to another brand, thats what my club are doing
