Default RE: Which Aircraft Module System is Better, Spektrum or Xtremelink

I fly everyday (yes, everyday), weather permitting. 10 flights minimum a day x 300 days. - 130 days for bad weather, x 2 years= 6,000 flights with the AR6000, 6100, 7000 and BR6000. Not one glitch. Individual channel failsafe can be had with the BR6000. It is for "robots", but works perfectly with planes. I couldn't say a bad thing. On a clear day, I have flown as high as I could with the AR6000, and still had control. The plane was literally a speck... I fly in the rain and fog, and that will be the only time I notice a difference in the distance, which is still "visual range". 2.4ghz is a small wave so it can get "lost" in inclement weather. It is also somewhat directional, that is why you can change the angle of the antenna on the transmitter. I keep mine vertical to the ground. With all the changes in weather out here, and number of flights, I couldn't be swayed to another product.
