AboutKen Myers Expertise I can answer beginning, advanced and expert questions about electrically
powered R/C model aircraft, and many questions about R/C model aircraft of
all types, except helicopters. I`ve been building, flying and designing R/C
model aircraft for 40 years.
Experience I have been building and flying radio controlled model aircraft since 1960. I'm the president of the Electric Flyers Only, Inc., located in southeasten Michigan. I'm a past president of the National Electric Aircraft Council. I'm vice-president of the Midwest R/C Society. I was president and main founder of the UFO (Union Lake Flying Organization). I've built and flown most types of model aircraft except helicopters.
Question Can I use my JR radio and JR crystals in a hitec 555 submicro daul conversion reciever.
Answer Hi Mark,
This is a difficult question to answer as you didn't tell me which shift the Hitec 555 is. If your receiver is working now with a Futaba or Hitec transmitter, then it won't work with the JR, as the JR is the opposite shift (and so is Airtronics) from the Futaba/Hitec transmitters.
You'll need a Hitec crystal for your Hitec receiver, either way.
