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

Thought I would add my two cents worth. I have flown Spektrum(DX6,DX7 and module extensively since last year. I have flown two versions of the Extreme. The Spektrum systems have been solid in 8 different models. I had difficulty with Xtreme(lockouts) until they modified it with the new antenna. I fly it now with the Spektrum antenna because I like the antenna orientation better. So far it seems solid. I have flown the Futaba(FAST) 6-channel and their new module system. Both seemed to be tight links. There is no question in my mind but what SS is the future. I have recently witnessed two shootdowns locally with 72. People are people and these things happen; this CANNOT happen with SS. I have also seen severe ignition noise problems resolved by a switch to SS; a real PLUS for large model flyers.
