[NSRCA-discussion] Where to order Futaba equipment?

[Scott McHarg]

My understanding is that Hobbico (aka Tower) had the exclusive on Futaba
radios.  Since Hobbico folded and Horizon now "owns" them, Futaba elected
not to extend/renew the contract to Horizon thus allowing them to sell to
whichever distributor(s) that they want.  It may be in limbo right now as
to who's doing what, when and where or Futaba may just be going out on
their own.  Time will tell.

If you're looking for servos, there are many good places to purchase.
www.servocity.com seems to be a pretty good contender.

Takeoff is optional.  Landing is mandatory!
