I used the info off the Tower site.

INCLUDES: Futaba R617FS 2.4GHz FASST 7-Channel Receiver

SPECS: Size: 1.6 x 1.1 x .35" (40 x 27 x 9mm)
Weight: 0.34oz (9.8g) with case, 0.25oz (7g) without case

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTHL6&P=M

This page shows this:
http://2.4gigahertz.com/receivers/index.html
 6106HFC = 0.25 oz
617FS = 0.33 oz

The 6008HS shows as 0.48 oz


Perhaps the catalog has a typo??


FWIW - I've flown the tiny 6004FF in a ParkZone Typhoon 3D foamy out as 
far as I ever fly it and even that RX was rock solid.
