Personally, I wouldn't own anything but the futaba. I have been flying them for almost 28 years and never had trouble with them. JR is good, but I don't like the programming in them, and I have flown airtronics and wouldn't use it again given a choice. I have a couple Hi Tech RXs but they have intermittent glitch problems and I just took the last one out of the plane it was in cause it quit in flight and I am trying to figure out weather to give it to a friend or shoot it with the 45 for something to shoot at.
You can't go wrong with either really, both are good, but I would go the Futaba. They make the best stuff and its the easiest to program in my opinion. [8D]
