receivers "six ways to Sunday" and can't tell what the difference is
between them. They are the same size and weight, both are 7-channel 2.4 GHz
receivers and both have the same pin orientation, but they have a different
price on the Tower Hobbies website. So, what's the difference? I suspect one of
the pictures on the Tower Hobbies website is the wrong one and that one
receiver is a "top loading" one, while the other is an "end
loading" one."</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
