I personally think 10yrs is the limit on my comfort zone when flying a $$ model. One thing that has been brought to my attention by a friend whom I consider to be VERY knowledgeable about this sort of thing is the fact that manufactures have been forced to use solder without LEAD! That apparently makes a difference over time...negatively. I think 2.4 has improved things a bit over the old crystal/filter setups we used to run on 72mhz, but 10 years is my limit.
