Default DX 18 questions

I have a DX 18 Stealth after many years of using a JR 12X. I am now getting a little concerned about the reliability of this radio. I have heard several "rumors" of DX 18s just quitting. Now that scares me. I run all airplanes on 2x batteries and JR/Spektrum power safe receivers and have never had a problem. I always use a data logger or telemetry and see good numbers on my airpanes. I believe most Spektrum problems are self generated by poor power management. Now to the big question.....

Have you (not a second hand story of someone told me stuff) ever lost a jet due to a documented failure of a DX 18 or had a DX 18 just "quit".

Not starting to start a flame war (already did that with my JR DMSS thread). I dont want to hear about JR, Jetti, Futaba, Weatronix, Citizenship (yes, I still have my original one from 55 years ago) or anything else.....just Spektrum DX 18 issues. Are my concerns founded?

fights on!
