I have four cheep four channel and two computer Hitec radios. Two Fatauba and a JR. I like the Hitec radios best and have had the best customer service you could ask for. In fact, they just amazed me on repair time and cost. When my JR radio went stupid it cost me an arm and a leg to get it fixed. Wouldn't buy another one. The futaba radios work well but I'm not crazy about them. I lost a hitec receiver in flight but the crash wasn't bad and saved the plane. I think the receiver was just old and never did find out what was wrong with it. As I think about the problems I've had my next radio will be another computer hitec. Oh ya I got a hobbyco too(or something like that) I don't have a clue how it works yet because I just got it used so haven't tried it yet? Its going in my lerjet so I sure hope it works ok. The plane is all one color and its a pain to fly. I like using the rudder and it works weird. lol Something I need to get used to. Most of my crashes have been radio problems so I guess I can be pretty sure what ones work well and what ones need to be tossed. lol
