I have to say that I am holding off a little on buying more FASST receivers until Futaba makes some sort of statement regarding the heat-related failures. I'd rather not purchase a receiver that I may need to send in for service. Having said that, the receivers I have are working great and I think the FASST technology is very sound. The ZGUID issue in the sport level radios was a manufacturing error, not a design flaw with the FASST technology. I just got my TM-14 module in the mail and am very excited to try out my new radio on my planes with 2.4 receivers installed. This new radio technology is certainly addicting!
i have 2 606's that i used all last summer, even on 105* days and never had a problem.
i agree with you though.....i'm holding off on 2 more Rx purchases.
it's fun going to the field and not even having to give a Rats butt when turning on the radio eh?
call it an old habit though, i still look around when i switch on to see if anyone in the air is being hit.........life is good
