Great radio, telemetry is nice.
Cheap plastic and workmanship. aux trim rocker switch is broken already.
Push button power switch is better then the dx3r but they should have used the other dx3r components.

But i also called horizon hobby and they sent me a kit to fix it no question, not a hard job but there are some hidden screws behind the rubber handles and stickers

Yes it is a warranty issue, but I will wait till the race season ends before I send it in.
