HK Orange Receivers vs Spektrum AR-500- Range testing and servo failures.

See servo failures, UBEC testing, and HK Orange Receiver Range tests vs Spektrum AR-500 Receiver while Range testing with my Turkey Baster Can. Then see the full range testing in the car. Typical Range of the Spektrum DX6i Transmitter is approx 3000 feet and with that test it resulted with the following relative formula.
5 feet from the can equaled approx 480 feet
10 feet from the can equaled approx 793 feet
15 feet from the can equaled approx 1,156 feet
20 feet from the can equaled approx 1,780 feet
All 3 of these HK orange park flyer receivers are flyable, based on these results.

However, I do not have faith in the Hobby King Turnigy servos for this plane, so reverted to some good old (made in USA Kraft KPS 15 II Servos)

The HK UBEC has been working flawlessly, however a 4.8 v receiver battery would be less likely to fail than this UBEC using a 7.4 LiPo.
Stay tuned to see the building tips of the PT 19, engine starting, and flying.

Remember "If it sounds stupid but it works, it ain't stupid!"

yeah a think so because you can use the orange receiver satalite with the spektrum receivers so i guess so

[helicopterjamie]

Can you use a spektrum ar7000 satellite in a orange hk 6ch receiver?

[jamesfukndee]
