I never though I would admit this...but time is telling it's story. We have 9 transmitters and 20 flight packs. 8 of the Tx's and 19 of the flight packs are Hitech. One set up is JR. I have had my share of crappy connectors, chattering servos, bad switches...and worse yet...servos that just crap out totally (micros) for no reason. As my equipment gets older (and I'm very rough on it) the quality of the Hitech stuff is giving way to break downs, and especially with the servos...reliability is getting worse. It's almost as if the stuff was made to last a certian amount of time...and when it runs out... poof.

But the most noticable thing out of all this...one radio has not given me a lick of trouble. It is my oldest radio (8 years old), still using all original equipment (even batteries), and Is used in my favorite plane that I fly the most...and that's the JR!
