I did not find the answer to my question here. How do I get further assistance?


I am a manufacturer and I need assistance with an industrial or other non-R/C related application such as robotics, automated machinery, etc. Can you help me?

We are the exclusive U.S. distributor for Futaba's Hobby R/C product and can help you with many of your needs—whether it be systems, servos or parts. Please use our Industrial Information Form to give us specific information on your product needs and applications.


I have (I'm opening) a Hobby Shop. How do I become a Futaba dealer?

Please visit: http://www.gpmd.com/ for additional information on establishing an account with Great Planes.


I heard about a new product which is not yet listed on your web site. How can I get more information?

If a product is not yet listed on our web site, chances are good that we do not yet have information on that newly released product. Please visit your favorite hobby shop and our web site regularly for new technical information as it becomes available.


Why don't you have pricing on your web site? Can I buy from you directly?

All Futaba products sold in the U.S. are sold exclusively through Great Planes Model Distributors. To locate a dealer/hobby shop/retailer in your area, please use our dealer locator. If you are an international customer, please visit our international contacts to locate the international distributor/dealer nearest to you.


How do I go about becoming a sponsored user of your products , a prototype builder or otherwise involved in your testing programs?

Nearly 100% of our U.S. testing is done by our own very dedicated R&D staff. If you're interested in employment with us and are in the Champaign IL area or willing to relocate, please visit our employment page for more information! Otherwise, however, we are not currently accepting applications for sponsored modelers or off site testing staff.

(This automated response will inform you our normal response time is by the end of the next business day and provide you other important details to assist you.)

I am used to the metric system. Your figures are in English. How can I easily convert them?

We try to provide most our data in both systems; however, for those items which aren't, there are many great programs, charts, and tables available to do metric-to-English conversions and vice versa. You might like to try a few we find helpful: http://www.onlineconversion.com/ or http://www.unitconversion.org/ or http://www.convert-me.com/en/
