Word of warning on the Hobby Eagle though. I have over 100 flights on one myself, and it is a fine littly gyro at affordable price, but there has unfortunately been some issues you should be aware of. In short, ALWAYS check gyro directions during every single pre-flight check. Someone on this forum a couple months back had a unit that simply wouldn't store setup correctly at all (correct procedure was confirmed by video). And worse, a friend of mine lost a model when the aileron direction reverted to factory defaults on flight 4 of the day. 3 flights no problem at all, on the 4th, the aileron compensation was wrong. No tuning what so ever in the meantime, only swapped batteries.

Today I powered up my Gray F-18 on the bench with all the functions connected for the first time. The blue box was in the circuit. It sat there while I checked things over and everything was working fine. Then I wondered to the other side of my bench to get something and the nose steering servo started acting erratic. I tried moving it with the Tx stick and it would move back and forth and lock full one way. At the same time the elevator servos were twitching. I removed the steering servo from the plane and hooked it up to a servo tester. It still acted erratic and heating up so I entered a ticket with Motion and now have a new servo on the way. I then connected my battery back to the plane and all the remaining surfaces are solid. No jittering.

I forwarded the video to the pilot and they will let me know what happens. I am sure that MotionRC will do whats right. Their customer service is top notch for that reason. Just worried about the quality of freewing at the moment... Not sure what the actual issue is yet but I suspect the Blue Box... but when final determination is made I will let everyone know.

Well my buddy flew his this weekend... He uses the radio you are referring to... plane is totaled... He used the blue box and just as he was doing a pass the plane lost all control. The RX has telemetry and it was showing zero loss in signal. Not sure if it was a bad servo or a the box but the plane went in and is a total loss. He will be contacting motion about this but from what I saw in person and from the video it locked up and just went in... Crash sequence starts at about 2:35
Hard to tell if this was a BB, BEC, or servo issue, but quite obviously has to be one of them.

Been using Spektrum exclusively all of my entire RC hobby years...That's thousands and thousands of flights ranging from micros to giant scale composite and it's been nothing but rock solid for me.My YouTube RC videos:

That being said, I have never seen a video of anyone flying jeti losing a model from signal loss neither. Obviously not saying it doesn't happen, just that I have never seen any examples of what you make sound like a common occurrence.
For my part, I've been through Spektrum, FrSky, Futaba and Jeti. The latter is by far the better system of the lot, but that doesn't mean the others aren't good too. Spektrum works well beyond visual range if done right.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Here's my flight from this morning. Spektrum TX, Lemon RX, HobbyEagle gyro, stock wiring through blue box, 5000mah, 6s Admiral. Flew it twice today, both times were uneventful except that the flight I didn't get on video was the one that landed perfectly flat and didn't tip over on the bumps like the one in the vid.
