FAQ

General Questions
WHERE HAS FUTABA’S PRESENCE BEEN?

We’ve been hard at work building Futaba USA, the official Hobby Radio Control group for Futaba, from the ground up. We truly appreciate your patience and loyalty throughout this journey, and we’re thrilled with how it has all come together

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? WEREN’T YOU FUTABA BEFORE?

Futaba’s journey in the hobby radio control industry has been one of evolution and growth. Originally managed directly by Futaba, distribution rights were granted to Hobbico for nearly 20 years, during which Hobbico handled our sales, marketing, and customer service. In 2018, following Hobbico’s acquisition, Futaba brought its hobby radio control division back in-house, forming the Hobby Radio Control group. Now, when you reach out to Futaba, you’re connecting with a team that is 100% owned and operated by Futaba.

WHAT’S WITH THE NEW NAME AND WEBSITE

With the transition, we felt that refreshing our name, website, and introducing new features like our Facebook page would help mark the beginning of a new era for Futaba’s Hobby Radio Control group.
