Guys thank you very much for your input. I bought this receiver last month to use on my second plane Escapade, which I have mentioned from time to time. Escapade does not give you much room but the space for the receiver for alright next to servos. It's not bad, and receiver was wrapped by the velcro. Also like to mention that I'm using Electron 6 which is a predecessor of Neutron 6. I never had any single problem, as soon as I installed it on my Mustang, it's working fine, Thank GOD.

As I was mentioning about my Escapade, last Saturday, I had one maiden flight, some senior flyers were there, and control surfaces fluttered, while plane was up in the air, I needed to trim out aileron's mechanically, during flight, couple of times plane fluttered, I mean the whole plane, I landed it, took the next flight, felt the same thing, this time while I was trying to make a high pass, plane jolted very bad but it got stabled, I thought, I ain't gonna take no more risk, I'm gonna get this plane down, I made my landing approach, throttle was 25% or 20% open or 1/4, the plane came right to me suddenly it took a sharp nose dive, there goes the plane. Many parts are still intact, but fuselage and wing are damaged but reparable. They all told me it's receiver's fault. I have sent the receiver back to Hitec's customer service, it should get there this week, and next week I'd have the verdict from them, which is broken, if receiver is good, then there must have been something else, which I could not detect, if receiver is bad which I'd find out next week, it cost me my plane.
