I have two radios, one being a Hitec Flash Five and the other a Futaba 6A Skysport. Both of these radios are really good. I crashed my first plane with Hitec, due to pilot error, into concrete and it came out unscaved. It now has a home in my WM Super Stunts 40 and it works excellent! Never had a problem with it. They have good features and are of the highest quality. The Futaba is in my Ultra Sport 40 and I have never had any trouble with it either. So I say Hitec or Futaba, but everyone has their own opinon, this is just mine.
