Are any of you running your Leptons OK using PCM Receivers? I want to stick with PCM rather than Sepctrum because of my investment in gear but want to know if it's generall OK so long as take usuall precautions and ferrite rings etc. I'm running my TREX 450 SE on PCM and don't have any problems so I'm wondering if I can expect same with Lepton?

I ran mine on Futaba PCM for about 9 months with no problems.

Before I switched to 2.4ghz that is all I was flying in my lepton. If you take a look at my gallery, you would see a wrapped jr770s with a whip antenna.

I'm using a Futaba 9CHP with a 149DP receiver with no issues.

I'm using the little 146ip which only has a 300m range - works fine

Thats all very good news. It's what I was expecting to hear but I just needed to confirm it before I invest in a Lepton.

Mine locked out with an R149DP. That receiver had been used in many models before that application, and several since without incident. I have since gone to 2.4 on it without incident. I know of at least three other people I fly with who had lockouts or glitching on 72mHz with their Leptons... just my two sense.

wow, 2008 has been a crappy year! Oh well, I'm goin flying :)

Stylus PCM works a treat for me.
