Should Hitec replace your plane due to a lock out? - Why should they? Futaba didn't replace planes when thier receivers overheated and lost signal. JR doesn't replace planes from brown outs (they just tell you that you need the new DSM"X").

Maybe you should ask the manufacturer of the optical kill switch to replace your plane since I'm sure they didn't tell you that their system could cause lock-outs if used with Hitec receivers. [&:]
