Price Increase for the Futaba 8FGA
I just noticed the 8FGA coming in late September has already had a price increase at Tower.
It was listed at 449.00 now its listed at 479.00
If it goes much higher I will probably go for a 7C.
Or consider Airtronics or Hitec.
I only fly 3 or 4 channel sailplanes.

RE: Price Increase for the Futaba 8FGA
It does not surprise me to see prices going up. The dollar gets weaker against many currencies every day. RC stuff does not seem to follow the classic supply and demand business model. The RC consumer is an "old guy" with disposable income to spend on toys. RC is not a huge market so many distributors try to make as much as possible on each sale.
