Over 30 years I have lost at least 6 planes directly due to reciever problems. Another 12 or so were close calls, but I got the plane back on the ground in one piece. In that same time, I have lost only one plane due to battery failure.

I bet everyone is running a second battery on their 33% planes.........right? More than one servo for each flight control? But considering a single reciever..........??

A 33% plane is about $3,000. A second reciever is about $150 and 2 ounces. In my mind the math points to adding the extra reciever.
