One of the larger gas clubs in Texas went through this several years ago. Many of the members sold their Futaba and Hitech radios and went to SkyFlys. Why? Well, they were so darn cheap! After one season, no gas racer still ran a FlySky radio.
One member in our club tried to make his FlySky work in his FE mono, after several seasons he still had intermittent problems. Other members racing Futaba and Spektrum radios had no issues in the same heats.

Best loss of signal I ever saw was a FlySky. That 10s Sport Hydro must have traveled 50 yards into that corn field. Batteries even further. Expensive boat + Cheap radio = spectacular crash. (without injury)Comment

I will chime in here and say I have run Flysky radios on many boats without issue. The range is decent. I’ll also add that I don’t really trust them all that much. Tho I personally have no reason not too. The only issue I ever had was if a receiver gets wet it’s junk. Toss it.
Now, I say this because I think it’s true,
It depends where you live.
Many of my friends have had issues with expensive radios up here in Ma. And my cheap I flysky worked perfectly. I would try to find out who is using what radios with success around your area. If guys are struggling with spectrum or something, youde stay away.
My fav easy simple cheap radio is tactic.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

I struggled with them when I was learning boats and learned in this forum that for some reason that’s above my pay grade they just don’t work well on my boats ,where a cheap traxxas will ,but once you move into twins or fast boats it’s time for a futaba or similar rxtx ,Comment
