Throttle failsafe was set, when the reciever fails you have nothing failsafe is for when the reciever recieves no signal from the transmitter, if you were as smart as you thought you were you would already have known this and not have had to ask the question. We were able to reproduce the problem after the failure. The antennas were inside the fuse.
The range check was fine, this was done earlier in the day. He already had 1 flight on this plane early in the day when the temp wasn't as hot and when it was cloudy and all was fine.
You are getting the whole story if you choose not to believe it that is up to you.
If you could read you would know that i am not the A&P, I am just the person trying to help get the information out. I was there when it happened and helped to troubleshoot the problem.
Don't accuse someone of lying when you don't knowif they are or not it always brings out the worst in people.
Why get pis*y, didn't say you were lying. Another fellows post mentioned A&P, confused his malarky with yours, sorry.
Sounds like he had a defective receiver. Either heat sensitive or some other component failure causing the temperature rise (stalled servos, defect in power expander, high current drain somewhere heating up the receiver or just a bad receiver). Doesn't mean the whole series is bad as you want to claim.
By all means, send your stuff back to Tower and move on. There are plenty of guys waiting on backorder status.
And as far as this statement:

Futaba has been selling a product that has no place in our hobby. Had I gotten hit by this airplane I would be suing Futaba. They need to recall these recievers and and refund all of us our money or fix the problem.
You're the expert, I'm sure.
