[NSRCA-discussion] FW: Futaba vs. JR

[Richard Strickland]

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking Futaba gave two radios with gobs of servos to many of the invitees--and I'm fairly sure Futaba was on the podium with most of the winners most of the time.  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Gotta go Airtronics!  Especially now that I’ve seen the new 10channel 2.4 (small plug!)

Futaba supported the TOC??  Didn’t Bill Bennett, aka owner of Circus Circus Hobbies (and the hotel/casino)  and primary importer of JR create/sponsor the TOC?  Just making sure my history is correct...

I am on my forth, 4th generation Futaba--just got an MZ (was going to do it a couple years sooner--but I didn't know how my back problems were going to work out) and the more I mess with it, the more I think I'm going to like it--a little intimidating at first....not so bad once you get in to it..
I probably became a fan as Futaba supported the TOC and pattern fairly well early on--JR seemed to be almost an 'also ran' at the time.  Obviously they make excellent radios now and are well thought of in the KC area.  Now I think of it as a Ford/GM sort of comparison--er, Honda/Toyota...
 
FWIW,
