A simple call in to SIG and you would have got it for the same price, but too late now. I hear ya on the RX. Felt the same way until I tested one in a cheap swap meet steal. Worked great, so now between the Orange and FrySky, I can outfit several planes for the cost of one branded RX.
When it comes to my big planes that I put a lot of time into though, then I only use Futaba.
