Default RE: Beginner Needs Help Choosing a Radio

So irrational these Spektrum haters.

Are you seriously ready to peg SPEKTRUM as a defective based on two incidents? I've seen many, many crashes on NON DSM2 systems at my field where the pilot appeared to lose radio contact. But I don't go blaming that on their radio equipment.

Also, there's clear proof that Spektrum and Futaba brownout at the SAME VOLTAGE as demonstrated by numerous videos. Also, the SPEKTRUM recovered more quickly than FUTABA. But who cares, because Spektrum has a known brownout problem as evidenced by the thousands of internet RC pilots that also have electrical engineering degrees, right? Don't let any of the facts get in your way. For every case of reported Spektrum defect, there's got to be 10x of cases where users have no problem with their DSM2 gear.

I'm not trying to be a cheerleader for DSM2. It just gets old hearing people bad mouth DSM2 to a newbie when I believe most of it to be untrue. As I stated earlier, my offer stands to anyone that has DSM2 gear.
