Who out there is a Futaba Distributor

[Robert Pickard]

With Horizon taking over Tower it is a mess trying to get what you want, one day it is in stock the next pending. Was just wondering if anyone out there that races is a distributor thanks

Hobbico was the exclusive "distributor" for Futaba as well as handling repairs. All I have been able to find out so far is as follows-

Horizon Hobby will not distribute Futaba. Futaba will distribute and service their products by themselves from their Alabama location (I think). The "futabarc.com" domain will not be used by Futaba - that was/is the old Hobbico created one.

I am very happy to hear this news!!

I was very comfortable with the Service Center while Hobbico had it however I recently had a few items that needed service so I called Horizon Futaba Service and I didnt get a warm fuzzy feeling after speaking with the Tech. I decided it was in my best interest to hold onto the items for the time being.

Glad to see North American Futaba Service comming soon!

Here you go Robert.

3PV manual- http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/3pv-manual.pdf

The manuals are all online. Heres a link to the rest of the models. Links are at the bottom of the info pages. Before they became unavailable everywhere I was reading up on them to see which radio I wanted... Should have bought one earlier...
