I wish they would get a better case. There radios are a very good deal IMO. Just that darn case.....
The O6 is a good radio *IF*:
1. you weren't silly enough to buy one of the early ones with the AAAA and other firware bugs that could (and did) crash a plane. Hitec's response was something along the lines of "this affects only a very small percentage of users and if you send the radio back we'll fix it" -- but of course they wouldn't fix any model that went in as a result. No recall, no widely publicized notification for those who had at-risk sets.
2. you weren't unlucky enough to buy one of the later ones with a Spectra module that didn't fit the back of the case properly and definitely did crash *many* planes. Hitec's "official" repair was to just wrap some tape around the Spectra module -- which didn't fix it at all and resulted in even more planes being lost. In the end they came up with some new plastic but refused to recall the remaining stock sitting on dealers shelves for update -- so there are probably still people buying this faulty RC gear today from dealers with slow-moving stock and crashing planes as a result. Thanks Hitec!
If you could be sure that you weren't buying a known-dud (which you can't, even today) and if it weren't for the fact that (despite the huge numbers who *have* had their handle part-company with the case) they deny the handle design fault, this'd be a fantastic radio.
