Is the Ar500 full range

[spunkmyer]

Just been reading about the Ar500 as I want to use these in my two new planes.

These are not parkflyer rx's are they?

"The AR500 sport aircraft full range 5-channel receiver is perfect for any of your sport applications where 5 channels or less is required. This receiver has a unique aileron configuration which has an additional aileron port. This allows you to plug in a left and a right aileron servo into the receiver independently without using a Y-harness"

Cheers for that, I need something that is full range. What problems have you had with the 500?

No problems with mine

got glitches with two of them and lost signal completely with one .6100's/6200's now but we have others at the club that use 500's in ducted fans models with no trouble

I've run at least 3 AR500s with no problems at all. They are full range, unlike the AR6100 which is definately a park flyer and has a flimsy case. Lots of folk use AR6200 for planes (perhaps they like the remote antenna?) but that just seems like a waste to me, especially as I'm generally only using 3 channels, 4 tops.

I'll get a Ar500 as apart from being full range allows me to use separate servos for ailerons without a Y lead.

Well here is my two new (well new to me) planes:

First is a 3D 400 which will be used to practice my A cert

The second is a P68C Twin which needs a restore so will be grounded for sometime.

I've got 2 AR500, cheap as chips, but perform great in my experiance.

I can fly my Wot-4 at the limit of my excellent long sight with no issue whatever. It's just the tit-on-the-sticks that has to be careful

yep I agree I think the tit-on-the-sticks sums it up, sounds just like me
