I think that the RC segment of Futabas business is so small, that they just do not give the RC radio business any significant recognition from an engineering and/or marketing standpoint.
Futaba worldwide does about $800,000,000 USD per year. Hobby RC is about 10% to 15% ($80,000,00 to $120,000,000) per year. Peanuts to be sure. I am unclear how you came to the conclusion that Futaba ignores hobby RC. Look at the 14MZ and 2048PCM.
