Our club has had as many crashes to Futaba lockouts than JR/Spektrum, do not believe crap you read in forums I fly Futaba for my choppers and JR for my planks. I have had issues with both but would not hesitate to fly my 37%er with either, both equally as good as each other. I would go as far as to say that 90% of all lockouts are due to user faults but these users are to arrogant to admit fault. I lost a 100ccer to a Futaba receiver but it was my fault, position of the receiver and other issues, never lost one to JR or Spektrum.

Out of the last four crashes at our club, which the pilots thought were lockouts none were actually a lockout. Post mortems showed, one battery failure, one elevator failure, one servo failure and one wing failure.
