Hi,

I suppose a brand new DX8 that comes from the Spektrum factory today should be OK. But I think I would hesitate to use one of the older one that came out first that had the bug(s) even if it has been sent in to be fixed. Why take a chance with an expensive pattern plane? You have other radio alternatives out there so personally I would really weight pros and cons regarding the DX8 before I would use it in a pattern plane. But that is me and I'm probably over sensitive to this type of radio problems that should have been tested and taken care of before a radio was released. I have absolutely nothing against Spektrum, it is only the DX8 I would hesitate with for known reasons.
