Who is willing to test these on their bigger models ?

Why is orange 4ch (ORNG4) expensve than 6ch (ORNG6)(hard case)?

Can't see much difference, except that the 4channel is confirmed to support the "Model-Match" feature.  Even HK claims the prices of these can fluctuate based on component prices.  I have seen other sites (like diydrones.com) also report that component sourcing is becoming very tricky these days, causing things to go out of stock for many weeks.

I have 6ch case one in shipping, will do a range check to tell you once it arrive.

The Orange 6ch were being restocked regualrly and were constantly in demand however due to recent range check review posts it's demand decreased which is why HK reduced the price. However the 4ch one was never restocked (since the time I have been tracking) which is why the price is as it is.

Thanks

Please excuse my lack of know-how, but  can anyone explain what is the difference between satellite receiver and regular 6ch receiver?

A satellite receiver is only an extension of the main 6ch receiver. it is used to extend the range of the main receiver

Ah ok!  so it cannot be used as a standalone receiver?

So DSM2 AR6200 has a main receiver and a satellite receiver right?

The HK spektrum will only keep it to the foamies don't trust it to fly big planes on it..

i totally agree, though it seem to work with pretty good range on foamies!!!!

Awright, just got the OrangeRX 6Ch Boxed version with extension port for satellite receiver (no receiver included). First impression, build looks OK. decent plastic body. Came with a bind plug which is a plus. Tried with my Dx6i and it was able to bind in the first try and even faster than my AR6100E... looks neat. All channels working fine. Maybe I will put it on my Su-31 for the test flight.

Reloaded $7.95

I did fly my SU-31 with this receiver.. while I could not fly it far away as it keep crashing.. but the radio did not gave me any trouble whatsoever.. it looks good for the price

Hi friends, Just now ordered 2 orange rx.

Any feedback from those who have used it about its range and performance. 

I have 1 heli, 1 trainer, 1 glider and one 15 size electric model. Dont want to use the original receiver with all because its costly  ......

I am using the 4 channel receiver on my slow stick and it works great 
No glitches and sufficient range for parkflyers! 
Havent dared to use it on my ezystar, coz i take take it very high!

thanks buddy for your feedback
