I am certain every time a design issue is brought up to you and your colleagues at work that you have found the cause and engineered a solution the same day. Otherwise why would you expect Futaba to do the same thing??"

I work in Aviation and I have to fully disagree. We are currently testing a new GE engine. Things come up daily and engineers are on the phone in minutes and digging deep. If the condition is not considered terminal to the equipment, we press on with engineering guidance, if the problem is safety that is it, red flag until the issue can be corrected or the risk mitigated through inspection. I think Futaba was oblivious to this issue until now. Do you think this product was rushed to the market to try and offset slipping radio sales, or that through testing was done, honestly?
