4. Its cheaper to get a smart fly than to get this receiver, because they aren't grossly expensive for what your getting.
5. I live in Canada and that unit right there would cost me $300 plus I would still need regs and a ignition kill
6. For $232 Canadian I can get a smart fly system sport plus which gives me regulators, and opti kill basically everything from #1-3
If your not running lipos they have the same thing without the regulators but its only $200 Canadian which I don't know how much would be In American.

Hopefully this clears a bit up about why smart fly is cheaper and better IMO than what you have suggested.
Why do you need seperate receiver voltage? I believe Spektrum receivers can handle 9.6V. No idea what this is needed for.

Ok, so you can use it to match servos...just like a matchbox or y-harness...y-harness is much less weight.

Okay, so the Smart Fly is cheaper than the 922, but if I'm not mistaken, you gotta buy a receiver on top of it!

You can always go for the AR9100, $20 less than the 922 (US Dollars). Thats just over $300 Canadian, for the receiver/regulators/y-harness's AND a 9 channel receiver.

Just over $300 for your Smart-Fly set up (only with a 7 channel receiver).
