Ryan,

You are correct, I never suffered any of the heat issues. I think most of the heat issues were related to poor setups, and having a servo or two binding. As I said in my post, all systems have problems, and many more so are due to pilot/user error than equipment failure. They both work. I have however seen a couple of issues with JR stuff, nothing major, but going into fail safe for a split second. I actually had it happen about 3 weeks ago with a new 9505 system when I was test flying a guys airplane. We never changed anything and he has never had another problem. They both have had their issues, but you are right they both seem to work. The Airtronics and Hitec stuff also work well. Bottom line is if someone is happy with their stuff, then there is no reason to change. I've been happy with Futaba for a lot of years, and that includes a lot of years prior to wearing an orange shirt. By the way, I love the new smurf blue shirts
