Ever since I started flying a couple few years ago,I've always heard the futaba/spectrum debates. After a couple years of seeing posts here on RCU....I'm glad I went with futaba. Just seems I hear alot of binding issues a few crashed planes with spectrums. And I havent really noticed many at all complaints about futaba. Seems spectrums might be easy to use and program and stuff then futabas,but futabas have less major issues. Probly just the way its coming across on the forums,but it sure seems evident over the last couple years. But most have no problem either way.
