The Schulze Alpha 5.35 is a tiny receiver especially designed for electric fliers. It is a full range receiver with 5 channels available - a development on the Schulze 4 channel model which was previously available.
   
This tiny receiver will fit in the smallest space and weighs next to nothing - but gives you the confidence of a top-quality, full-range receiver. A micro crystal is required and these are available on all 36 MHz odd-number frequencies for only $13 - please specify the channel when ordering.
   
Schulze is known for superlative and advanced technology. Check out the following features that are incorporated in to Schulze quality receivers:
   
ASC- strengthens and modifies the strength of the signal - reduces it at short range and amplifies it at long range.
   
APDR - or digital post processing. Digital technology is applied to signal filtering to replace an invalid signal with the previous valid one (similar to PCM). Servo jittering is greatly reduced. If interference persists, the receiver switches off the servo signals completely until a new valid signal is received. That describes APD, but Schulze goes further and installs APDR - the R stands for signal restoration. It can generate either the actual transmitted signal, or a signal close to the original signal, if a glitch is received (say, by an electric motor).
   
ATSS - checks that the correct number of channels are recieved - detects whether the transmitter employs positive or negative shift - adjusts accordingly - you can use this Schulze receiver with any brand of transmitter.
   
You could be receiving lots of glitches from your electric motor and never know. Schulze has included a glitch counter in his receiver which tells you how many glitches you have received. An LED blinks to let you know. You can observe the flashing LED when you land and knwo whether you have been flying in a safe environment or whether you need to be careful
