I use Hitec on occasion. As a matter of fact, I was flying my 232 yesterday and noticed it was flying a little different. Wouldn't hold trim, jerking around every now and then. After landing, as I was taxiing back I noticed one elevator wasn't moving, then it moved, then it hung up. I have 605bb's on the elevator, it seems one had had enough. Replaced it and kept flying. To Hitecs defense, this plane has probably 1000+ flights, and every flight is not a walk in the park. I think the high end stuff is good, I was considering using some on my 46% ultimate, but they are near the cost of JR 8611. So I'll be using JR, especially on jets and giants.
