Unfortunately, failure is a risk with all electronic and mechanical parts. I've had regulators fail in the most odd ways....I had one in a helicopter that caused tail and cyclic glitches...it smoked itself while I was testing it on the bench (fortunately). I've actually had better luck with Duralite than I did with Flightpower. I have also used and use Dualsky regulators.....bottom line is anything can fail- welcome to the real world<G>
