I have been a Futaba guy since the mid 80's. When I got back into RC I picked up a 3pks. I have not had a single issue. I knew very little about Spektrum at the time. I ended up getting a DX 3.0 for my little guy. I had nothing but problems with glitching from day one. Re-bound it many times ect.

I ended up ditching my sons DX 3.0 and got him a Futaba 3PL

In the few years I have been back in RC, I have heard about way too many issues with Spektrum radios.

Seems you either get a good one or you don't, and your chances are 50/50
