Another funny is that no one agrees on channel numbers either. Futaba and JR don't agree on what control function is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Shoot, even futaba changed this. For years it was ailerons, throttle, elevator, rudder on 1 through 4. Now it is ailerons, elevator, throttle, rudder.
I still get them backwards sometimes because of that! I have no clue as to why they thought they needed to change that.
