Each are on the end of a length of coax cable and can be located about 6 or 7 inches apart. This gives roughly the same (maybe a tad more) spatial diversity as an AR7000 with one remote receiver.

Not pushing either brand, just wanted to make sure you were aware of how they are made.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I was a little to vague in the description and was sticking to the the Upper end RX's not the 7ch versions. When you talk 7ch then things get closer (36 in spektrum max, 6-7 inch max FASST and 0 in on XPS)

But with Spektrum you can run a RX 36in from the main in 2 directions. That is a big deal when you think that a 40% airplane is 115in or so. gives you basically the whole plane coverage.

Of course add in dual RX's in either plane and you increase it even more for both systems to cover the entire plane. Right now though Spektrum has slightly better coverage options but I don't think FASST is as bad if you run 2 RX's. I do wish XPS would go dual RX or introduce the Satellites already.
