Default Hitec or JR digitals ?

if theres anyone in this world to back me on this it would be Wayne. Not just because he is a friend but because he was standing right beside me at the time of the crash assisting me with trim settings while I was trying to keep the plane from crashing. He witnessed the whole flight from takeoff to the crash and I know he will back me in saying the plane most defiantly went in from a problem with the aileron servo and not from lack of ability to fly the plane.

That is exactly right. There is no doubt about why his plane went in. It was a problem with a Hitech aileron servo. He was able to duplicate the problem with it on the bench repeatedly after the crash.
Do JR or Futaba servos fail? Of course they do. I watched a H9 33% Cap porpoise into the ground last weekend because of what looked like to be a problem with a JR 8411.
My problem with Hitech now is how they handled David's problem with his servos. Really bad customer service after the crash in my opinion. For that, I will spend the extra money and buy JR or Futaba because I know I will get better service if there is a problem.
