Currently I am using an Airtronics XL6-FM system. (TX,RX & servos) What I'd like to know is if anyone has mixed and matched other manufacturers equipment. E.G., Airtronics with Futaba or Kraft or Ace or ??? What I'd like to do is have separate reciever/battery systems in each model to avoid pulling things apart too many times. Airtronics separate receivers seem to be unavailable right now, but Futaba is in ample supply. Since most of the modern systems use the Signetics encoder/decoder chips I thought I might get a simple 2 channel receiver and use it with the 6 channel transmitter (Thus saving lots-a-bux).
