What is the difference between the 607FS and 617FS Rx?

Apart from the extra channel, is the main difference between the 7 and 8 channel Rx the fact that the 8 is 2048?

The R607FS receiver outputs the channels in sequence. The R617FS groups the three cyclic channels together. Both these receivers are 10-bit (1024 steps of resolution).

The R608FS receiver is 11-bit, 2048 steps of resolution.

So, forgive my ignorance, but I assume the 617 is preferable over the 607 if you are using eCCPM?

With a 14mz can't you re-sequence functions and channels to accomplish the same thing?

Channel 1 Aileron
Channel 2 Elevator
Channel 3 Pitch

Balance of the channels for the other stuff?

Yes, you can do that. But this is not a good idea. With the 7 channel mode, only channel 3 (i.e throttle) has failsafe setting !

Thank you.

But nothing stops you putting ail, ele, pitch on 4,5,6 and leaving the throttle on 3.
