There are a lot of generic radios coming from china manufactures that have used Futaba or JR style cases. Probably just buying the plastic molded cases or reproducing them. If you look at almost all the electric stuff or even sim boxes out there they look either like old Futaba or JR style cases. They are all generic though like the GWS, E-flite, etc.

By the way Forrest and I went to a local indoor meet last night and flew our Tornado for almost 4 hours. Only had to make one small repair on the spot but the rest was pure joy. Once trimmed, this tiny micro was so steady we could take our hands off the sticks. We are at teh point now where we can fly circles and figure eights. Key is don't let the forward spped get too high! It can get away from you really quick! We still have much to learn though.
