FRSKY has local dealers that stand behind their products. The one I have bought my radio from is Aloft Hobbies. On my radio one stick was a problem. It did not return to the same position every time. Aloft provided new sticks for both positions that are excellent. I did not even have to return the old sticks.
No matter what you think, the Chinese are making excellent products and stand behind them.
I had a RCGF engine that froze on the first run. The needle bearings on the crank came apart. . I contacted the factory and they directed me to a distributor He gave me a new motor .Its an excellent motor
I don't deal with HK too much but their covering is better than monocoat and it costs 1/2 monocoat.
