lol you make it sound like anything apart from that list is wothless!
Futaba seem to have some probs for a start :

Futaba FASST
The first problem with the Futaba FASST systems was the zero GUID issue which saw some sets losing a small but critical part of their memory which resulted in multiple systems interacting in a rather unpleasant way. In effect, two systems that suffered this problem could end up shooting each other down.
This problem, and the manufacturer's response was outlined in an earlier RCModelReviews story.
A more recent, and potentially just as critical issue has been discovered by those using the FASST system in the heat of summer.
A growing number of crashes and near-misses have been attributed to the effect of high ambient temperatures on the FASST receivers.
Independent tests (conducted by FASST owners) indicate that once these receivers reach or exceed a temperature as low as 120 deg F, they simply shut down and stop working. When the temperature is lowered, normal operation is restored.
Once again, the US distributor for Futaba remains non-committal and apparently unwilling to even acknowledge the existence of the problem. There is therefore, no fix at this stage and commonsense suggests that anyone flying FASST in high temperatures should take great care to ensure their models are kept out of the sun when not being flown.
Some FASST users have even taken to fitting onboard fans to keep their receivers cool and thus reduce the chances of the heat problem affecting them.
JR/Spektrum have taken advantage of this problem with FASST by launching an advertising campaign that promotes the fact their receivers work quite happily at temperatures up to 300 degrees F. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!
