Futaba 18SZH Discontinued?
Since the release of the Futaba 18SZ model, I've always wanted to get my hands on one, but whenever I was ready to buy one, it was out of stock. Today, when I checked the Tower Hobbies website, the listing has changed to "Discontinued". does anyone have any idea if the product will still be available for purchase? It hasn't been in the market long enough to be discontinued. Tower hobbies listing: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFKLP&P=ML

Be patient, when the new Futaba distribution and service center gets up and running in Alabama, I'm sure they will have the SZH back in stock.
With Horizon buying Tower Hobbies, it is still unclear whether Tower will continue to handle Futaba equipment or not. They have started selling Spektrum since the takeover as you would expect for a company owned by Horizon.

They are not looking for another distributor, as Truckracer said, they are going to be their own importer/distributor/service center in Huntsville.

There is some more information about this issue over on FG. I got in contact with them, RC Japan, as well as several others asking about FCC stickers. We were all told that their radio equipment does not have FCC stickers. They may be FCC compliant as I doubt there's really no difference in the radios, but without the sticker it's a no go....
