Me too! I'm very impressed with how Futaba is handling all of this. Too
often is seems like all we get as comsumers is a bunch of excuses and/or
attempts to blame "us" for "their" screw ups. Futaba is admitting their
mistake and taking what certainly looks to me to be a healthy proactive
response to correct the problem. It definitely justifies my loyalty
toward
them!
Fly Safe,
Steve R.
