Obviously we don't have your perfect flying conditions that allow 10 flights per day...but we have had more than 100 flights on two Lightnings with stock Behotec gear..I have no complaints.
The units on both my Lightning and Flash have been faultless...can't ask for more than that.
The early tyres are hard and heavy, later rubber is softer (quieter too) and probably lighter.

Everyone to their own...I think Merc's cars are cr*P!
