I've always been a little leary of the DX7 from the start because DX6's have problems too, but they are far and few between and the DX6 has been reliable for me. I couldn't choke on the $375 they were listed at either when a DX6 can be had for $146 to my door. Man.....Spektrum will want to know about this for sure, and I'd be arranging having it sent back.
