Some people love Spektrum stuff, but I got weary of the binding problems with Spektrum myself. Following the instructions to the letter would not guarantee it would bind, or sometimes it would bind and then lose it in like 5 seconds. One time on takeoff, the plane completely lost signal, plopped to the ground and damaged the LG. Horizon replaced one AR610 for me, but I got tired of it. I switched to Tactic and have had zero issues.
