We have just had a glorious flying day in UK. Rather cold, but blue skies and light winds.

Dick, since Futaba and JR make their range of equipment mainly for the USA market due to the high volumes, and in the USA they fly a lot of jets and large models, is there a hidden message in the fact that Futaba and JR do not themselves make opto-isolators, line drivers, ferrite rings etc? If there was a need, wouldn't Futaba and JR be making these items to get the lion's share of the sales? I begin to wonder if the "need" is just created by the third party manufacturers of opto-isolators?
