<<...The only one I have ever had that goes bad...>>

I found out long ago that, as far as my stuff is concerned, Murphy thrives in an R/C environment. The odds that major component replacement/adjustment will be necessary is inversely proportional to how much time you spent making the model user-friendly, and how much you like it.

For instance, while this sort of hatch is easy to do, it is not QUICK to do. I spent an entire afternoon getting it just right. Naturally, I wasn't too enthralled with the characteristics of the Ultra Stick, and it now hangs unused and gutted in my spare room. No condemnation of the model; it simply doesn't trip my trigger.

But it sure has a nice battery-access hatch...
