I recently purchased a Futaba 4PLS, and have pretty much regretted it right from the start. Futaba doesn't even know the proper binding procedure for the receivers (I have been dealing with them on this for months, the manual does not match the controllers menus). I usually just have to screw around with the controller and receiver until I get lucky and they bind. And the menu selection joystick is so cheap, it feels strait up broken out of the box. I wish I had gone with Spektrum. I only fly my planes on Spektrum, and the quality difference is insane. Futaba used to be a premium name brand too...
