I think the tests showed pretty clearly that these receivers are more sensative to heat than your average receiver. Did Futaba do any testing on operation at elevated temps, say ambient temp above 100F? These guys have 4 receivers that die at less than 100F. Thats 4 out of 4! If Futaba did not find this problem, they must not have tested at elevated temps. I have a 12FG, but so far only one 14 channel receiver. My son has the same setup and has only had one flight (successful) on the 14 channel receiver. We have had several good flights on the 7 channel receivers. I will do some testing myself to see if I can duplicate this.
