. Go to your local field and watch who crashes an who doesn't. JMHO
In our case it would be the Futaba owners ( not to knock Futaba ).
Usually it is the incompetent pilots that crash, regardless of Radio Brand.. Sometimes that incompetance manifests itself in bad radio installations and poor quality batteries that result in the Radio being blamed for the crash.. Any of the current Brand name Radios, if set up and powered correctly will be equally reliable in my opinion and personal experience..
I agree with this %100. No matter the radio brand, model type, or power system good pre-flight
habits area must. Checking connections and linkages before the flying session is a great thing to
do. When flying my volt meter is always nearby as I check my Rx pack between flights. These have
saved my butt a few times. Switches are another culprit many pilots ignor. Last year I nearly lost a
new model to a bad switch, a new one! I don't use generic switches and never re-use old ones. A new
name brand switch is cheap insurance.
