I've no idea if this was the cause of your accidents but it may be premature to just the the conclusion that it was a Spektrum problem.

What ESC's / BEC's were you using?

Go back and read first guys post - he was using SEPARATE Rx pack .... NOT a BEC.

One point though - I disagree with his antena orientation statement of straight UP antena ... I have been informed by a radio tech and also via reading various forums that a 2.4Ghz antena should be horizontal in line with top of Tx as that is usually the orientation horizontal of the models Rx antena.
