Simon Chaddock Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 They appear to be a generic design. Maybe no better than a Spektrum original but a great deal cheaper! Redcon do an identical 7 channel version. I have both but not yet flown but test out OK . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDB Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Interesting as they're a good price and I've never heard of them. On Googling there's a lot of chat on RCG, some good some bad, on the s603 receiver but nothing conclusive. Think I'll stick to Lemons for a few quid more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Barclay Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 Maybe I will try one in an old plane. Spectrum prices are stupid. I have always used Orange full range with absolutely no issues but seems they are no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Michael, just a friendly tip nothing to do with receivers - when you post a link, you probably dont want to also post all that tracking data. From your posted URL of 1041 characters only the first 39 are the ebay link, the remaining string of 1002 characters, from the "?" onwards, is google tracking you, which I'd guess you wouldnt want made public 🙂 Your actual ebay link is just: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364209113376 Not intended as criticism, hope its taken as a friendly suggestion 🙂 Cheers Phil 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I use the Lemon receiver's, really good, reliable and full range and available from about £17 for the 6 channel. I believe they are even better than the Oranges that are difficult to find now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only second what @Outrunner has said however just to add there's also a good manual for the Lemon RX available at http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/docs/lemon/Lemon_RX_manual.pdf 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Barclay Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks everyone for your replies. I did try Lemon one a few years ago, but it had some issues, but as Orange full range are impossible to find at the moment I will try one again.

Denis Watkins Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 No part of my flying or flying equipment, fuel or choice of model have escaped being denounced on the forum, but I do understand that opinions are interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I agree. First hand experience such as "I had xxx rx, but the range was limited to 500 metres, even though it was sold as full range" is useful. "Heard negative thoughts...." does not add any value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is perfect, even the most high quality items can sometimes fail. I had a Capagnolo (a very, very, highly regarded cycle component manufacturer) seat pin break on my way to work some years ago - it made the last 2 or 3 miles very tiring as I had to stand up all the time 🙂 The one thing you may get by choosing higher quality/priced items is some redress from the suppliers/manufacturers. My first Frisky 60 amp Neuron esc was dead on arrival and T9 replaced it without question, which is why I've bought most of my Frsky receivers/transmitters etc from them.
