Hi,

I got the "Sailplane Package" from HobbyLobby (delivered by post in Las Vegas then handcarried in Manila) which should have come with a 555 Rx as advertized, but I got a 8Ch Super Slim Rx instead? So what gives? (BTW, the 2 HS55 servos that came with the package are, I think, busted... one has the jitters and the other goes into a full circle)....

There may be an issue with the Freq.
I didn't think you ran on 72MHz in Manila??????

Standard Flash 5 System X -Includes Supreme 8 Channel Dual Conversion Receiver, 4 HS-422 Deluxe Servos, Transmitter and Receiver NiCad's, AC Charger, Switch Harness and Servo Extension

Flash 4 SXG Glider Version - Includes: Micro "555" Micro Receiver, 2 HS-81 Micro Servos, 600 mAh Transmitter NiCad's and Mini 270 mAh. Receiver NiCad, Charger and Switch Harness.

The Super Slim is too big for my applications-- I basically fly parkflyers, so I got a GWS RX (single conversion) with Xtal of the same freq, its working fine. So, its probably not a freq issue. Hey, a lot of guys here use 72s!!!

I could use the 555 RX, but not the Super Slim, its just too heavy and too big. Has Hitec stopped making the 555? (Hey Mike I tried to E-mail but the link did not work) Thanks for the reply.
