These brick receiver/servo combos are truly remarkable devices, and work with any of the recent Spektrum transmitters. I've done a couple of boost gliders using these, and they are a bunch of fun to build and fly.

While these receivers are available as stand-alone items, a great way to purchase one is to buy a bind-and-fly model that uses one, fly the snot out of it, and then harvest the brick from the carcass. Here's an example:

This approach has the advantage of providing the charger needed for the receiver LiPo, as well as a single battery.

Good to see you back, Terry.
