Hi Len.. I do agree with you that we should not get caught up in brand wars and just stick to the facts. I've been a big advocate for Spektrum. Like you, I've been flying spektrum and really do like the DX18 radio system. But we do need to talk about the issues to be aware, because the fact is there are issues. Unfortunately, unlike you my luck hasn't been so good and the only reason I knew about the RX's issues was from my Flying Club buddies and forums to discuss.
