I still run 27Mhz on my planes, much to the astonishment of my

The hobby is different things to different people. Endlessly tinkering with the Tx and it's programming is what some like to do. I like to fly, and this Tx gets the owner and his plane up and flyin' in short order. Could it be better, sure! Does it perform as designed? Yup!

Indeed many, many thousands of people have had no issues with DX8 and many other Spek radios. Quite a few reports of the issues that did happen popped up because guess why, there were thousands upon thousands sold.
