Scott,

I'm not sure why you're having such poor luck, I have over 450 flights on my current C50 COMP with no problems. I've also seen many others here in the Texas area (with super hot summers) get many hundreds of flights on inrunners. In fact, I've never seen one fail at a contest and only "know of" two or three failures over the last four years, two of those were on the original C50 that's no longer made. Not saying failures don't happen, just don't think it's a reason to choose between inrunner or outrunner.
