Can I operate an original XPS 8-Channel receiver without its case?

Hi Jim,

I've been flying a foamie that is setup like a miniature bush plane with a four servo wing for flaps and ailerons.

Ch1 = Left aileron
Ch2 = Elevator
Ch3 = Throttle
Ch4 = Rudder
Ch5 = Right Aileron
Ch6 = Left flap
Ch7 = Right flap

Because I needed seven servo outputs I installed a Nano Rx and an X10+(V2) in the plane and all works perfectly.  But now I want the X10 for a different project.

I am thinking about installing instead an original 8-Channel XPS receiver.  With weight at a premium in the little foamie, could I remove the 8-Channel receiver's case and still use it safely?

Thanks,

Paul

Never mind. I took the case off and it contributes very little weight. And, I suppose it provides good protection. Nano+cable+X10 totals 12.8 grams, 8-Channel receiver is 19.3 grams. Not a big difference.

Yes, you can run without the case - but as you found the case weighs very little.
