Default RE: Futaba 2.4 GHz User Report

When I talk about the quality of the product, I am comparing it to earlier versions. A number of weeks ago I replaced an unwarranteed 6EXA with a new one. That transmitter failed after six flights. Totally disappointed I brought it back to my LHS and traded up to the FASST system. Looking at both transmitters one can see that everything on the FASST radio is of cheaper quality. The plastic case, the toggle switches etc. All this is superficial to the electronics of the unit, however stuff happens and transmitters sometimes do get knocked around. I am very careful with my equipment and I take pride in my planes and equipment. The radio so far works very well. I still feel like I'm holding on to a TOYS R US jobs. BUT IT WORKS FINE.
