Poor Build Quality of the EZUHF JR Module

I wanted to compare the abilities of a EZUHF 70cm radio vs the 2.4Ghz radios. I picked up a Turnigy 9XR and a EZUHF JR module from Hobby King.

Shortly after they arrived, I gave them a try. I am dumbfounded by what happened next. The EZUHF JR module was apparently not getting power from the Turnigy. It clearly powered up when connected by USB - but showed no signs of life when plugged into the Turnigy.

After a little bit of googling, I found the following video on this thread.

This EZUHF module is the vital link between you and your drone - and THAT is the build quality. This is meant to be a long range transmitter. Can you imagine having your drone a mile up a mountainside and the flimsy little connectors break contact?!? Absurd! I can't see ever using these in a production drone. I am in shock.
