Default Re: Receiver for Carbon fiber installations

Does it support 2 satellite receivers like AR9000? Can't tell from the pictures. Website doesn't mention a possibility to add second satellite receiver though, so maybe it is main receiver + 1 satellite only, but can anyone confirm that?

This is just the rx that glider guys were asking for, who have full carbonfiber fuses. Won't really make any difference for regular composite planes with carbon reinforcement in the seams. The nice thing about it is that it is a small 9 channel rx. But how good is it at supllying power to the servos?

My first FASST installation in a Compy SX.....

I wasn't too trustin' o'this new fangled giggahurts spread rectum stuff.... so I put an RRS in there too.... had it in for maybe... 60 flights.. and never recorded a single F/S from either Rx.....

Now I took out the RRS and I am running what you see with Dual Rx's..... all good.... I trust the FASST now more then I did my 50 mhz equipment!!!

://www.giantcircus.com/Videos/RRS_Explained.wmv
a few other vids here.... if you are assembling a compy... check the Pull-Pull vid.....

but worry not about the FASST Install.... I don't think anyone could install worse then Jason Shulman did with his first FASST Rx!!! lol
