Ok guys, back on the original subject. I fired off an email to to Mike Greenshields at Global Hobby (Hobby People) about this radio. Here is what he had to say on it.

Global licensed the 2.4 Ghz technology for this radio from Airtronics. The group effort to produce a quality customer-direct economy radio designed to compliment what Airtronics is doing rather than compete directly with they. Since they are licensed from Airtronics this radio will work with the curretn Airtronics FHSS-1 receivers. Their goal was to produce a quality low end radio so they worked very hard to find manufacturers that would produce this. It's not made by Airtronics/Sanwa, but it is made in cooperation with them.

Personally I like to see a low cost radio like this. There are certain things that I'd like to have a low cost radio to use for. For instance, the RC Skydiver I'm working on getting. Since the drop plane I will be using is on my SD-10g radio I can't put the skydiver on it as well. So I need a cheap radio to use for the skydiver. This fits the bill perfectly!!!
