We've had the DP149 PCM RX's and were never an issue. As it should be. When the summer in the USA is in full swing in the upper 90's Futaba is going to have a hard time explaining it to the consumer or courts if something were to happen.

The product should not be this finicky to operate and the tolerances seem way to low. The liability is high. A product like a rx has to have the highest standards.

An example we see is cars. In sun light a white car in AZ 92 degree temps shot to 124 degrees. The computers in the car were at 141 degrees. The interior 137 degrees. It is not even 120 yet in AZ.

So it is safe to assume that even with your best setup you can go over the temps. Extreme temps for a model airplane; a court can argue perfectly that at ambient 100 degrees, with the airplane at maybe 150 degrees. This is not extreme at all. After all the interior of your car in 100 degrees is up to 178!!!! So it is about reason. And quite frankly something the manufacturer should be reasonably considering since flying is a summer activity.
