Extreme3D,
I fly GWS planes, receivers, crystals, servos, and ESCs. As well as several of my flying buds. We occasionally experience a glitch or two, but it mostly seems to happen with my brothers Hitec Electron 6 and Hitec 555. I think my brother had some trouble with a GWS receiver, but it wound up being the crystal not plugging in securely.

I'm sorry you've had bad luck with them and if I had lost a plane due to a faulty receiver, I probably would feel the same as you.
