I just exchanged emails with Steve Helms who is the head Futaba guy
(Futaba Corporation, not Hobbico) in the US and who has been in the RC
industry wince WAY back (all the way to Pro-Line back in the 70's). He
reminded me that in fact it was KRAFT who had the first synthesized
module back in the late 80's. Then Futaba came along in the very early
90's and then Hitec sometime after that.
I'd forgotten about the Kraft module!! But I do remember my first Kraft
radio. I paid $330 for a 50channel radio in 1971. No servo reversing, no
end points, no mixing, no nothing. That is over $1,600 in today
dollars!!! We live in fortunate times to be sure as far as this hobby
is concerned.
