Spektrum seem to be taking the beating lately. I've 4 spektrum recievers that I've been using for about 3 yrs now, never had any problem with them. I've seen and heard of loss controll/brownout/.... on but usually the flyer isn't sure what's hapening, just assume that it might be the radio or even the esc, bec, could even be a bad soldering on batts to esc or ...... Then again it's not just the Spektrum, I've also heard/seen problem with others, futaba (less than a year ago) and hitech (just the sunday b4).
Could it be that we are barking up the wrong tree? If those profesionals 3D heli flyers are willing to stake their life with Spektrum doing all those dangerous 3D, I'll have to say I'm staying with my Sektrum unless I need more channels or programing needs.
