I was so pleased with it to start with I left a good review. (Scoobydoo).

I fully take your point but the fact is that it happened. Cheap doesn't always mean poor quality. FRsky make some great quality things at an amazing price and show just how much the big manufacturers make on receivers and accessories. I don't think the problem was the quality of the hardware as that seemed very good. The problem was that they didn't have the code from Futaba, they worked it out for themselves and a something like a specific combination of signal requests, that takes a long time to fall into place, cause it to fall over. If they had the proper code it would be as good as an original Futaba product. I am led to believe they won't release the code to manufacturers that may not respect their intellectual property rights which is understandable, would you??
Same one died on me after 20 or 30 flights in a test plane. Same exact circumstances.
