Hobbico owns Horizon and is the sole US distributor for JR.

There is a difference between distributors and retailers also as you well know.
Sorrry, not correct. Horizon and Hobbico are two different companies with no business ties or relation to each other.
Hobbico is the parent company of Tower Hobbies and Great Planes Model Distributing company. Hobbico also owns a wide variety of hobby brands.
Great Planes Model Distributors is the exclusive distributor for North America for O.S. Engines and Futaba R/C hobby equipment. You can find all the brands handled at the website listed below.
