I would never fly with HITEC especially with gas. I had a brand new out of the box OPTIC 6 with a QPCM and fm receiver. Lost 2 planes the same day. Sent in the radio and hitec repaired it. I asked them to help me out on the planes. They said they could do nothing even though it came from the factory bad.. This radio was out of box new and used for these 2 planes only. I lost a 2500.00 cap gas and an Ohio models V2 katana. I had a very experienced pilot help on everything and everything was correct except the bad radio from the factory. I WOULD NOT FLY YOUR PLANE WITH THAT RADIO!!. We had a frequency checker and the radio was transmitting on 2 freqs. I hate to sound so sour but I can't believe HITEC would not do anything for me since the system was brand new. I could understand if I owned it for a while but this system was brand new. Well I will stop. Good luck on your project. Hope everything works out.
