i was never trying to "rag" on futaba, i still like my 9c and plan to keep it, just using my pcm stuff again cause i dont trust the 2.4, i had it fail in mine first hand, so i know whats its like personally, my pcm receiver works in the same exact spot i had the 2.4, i flew all last summer in tucson with the pcm in my yak and no problems, now, at the end of april i had a 2.4 fail, same location, same way mounted as the pcm was, and its was only in the mid to upper 80's outside at the time, its only gotten hotter already in the last 3 weeks since i switched back, pcm is just fine, i am just concerned someone may loose a 40% plane into a crowd of people, i dont want to be there myself, i know japan had a holiday and people were closed for a week, but it has been 3 weeks since i started my post about my failure, and someone gave me the link to fg's thread that was already pages long at that time, so i kinda think there was enough time for some sort of warning to be issued at least, i know they dont just want to recall everything and replace stuff hap-hazardly, but there is an issue, its not isolated, there is people in az, california, and utah, which is where the warmer weather is already here, do you want to wait until people in the midwest report the same problem? if it happend to you personally you might feel different about it, i am using my 9c and will continue, just concered for fellow flyers, maybe under the canopy isnt the best spot, but no one ever warned me about it, alot of planes have a little tray there buy the rudder servo area just for the reciever, so there is a ton of us putting them there, thats all im saying
