Does a Futaba Micro receiver for airplanes have the same range as a larger receiver?
Most Micro receivers are listed as Park Flyers, which means they have a range that is only suited for indoor or shorter range flying as is done with a "foamy" plane or a micro heli.
The larger receivers can be used on larger wingspan planes and larger helis, and while range on any receiver can vary depending on certain conditions, normal range is further than the eye can see.
Below is a list of receivers and how they are categorized.
