Futaba and JR seem to have a strangle hold on the R/C airplane market for some reason unbeknownst to me. Since Kraft went out of business, I have owned nothing but Airtronics. I am very happy with them and am in the process of looking at Airtronics now for a new radio! I am of the opinion that strong marketing by Horizon Hobbies and Tower hobbies, are the only reason JR and Futaba have such large market share. It doesn't mean they are better, they just have better name recognition.
