I agree on Hitec, I bought a new receiver, stuck it in a box and pulled it out
a year later and it did not work, Sent it back, and it came back working
(I tested it). Put it back in the box and went to use it again many months later, and
again, did not work. Sent it back, told them this story and got a new RX.
Now, that was above and beyond the call of customer relations in my book.
