Best for Beginners and Intermediate flyers. Great Value for money
Great to see Futaba finally getting approval.
Spektrum, Futaba, what next ? JR/Sanwa/Hitec ?
is that mean that all 2.4ghz is approved.

Type approval is seems to be limited to the seller. I guess it is about manufacturing batches, otherwise it does not seem to make sense, as for practical purposes the exact same models of the same radio can be considered exactly similar in specifications and operation.

Here is a sample (but real) WPC approval : http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/download/14977/189224/file/India_Type_Approval_4.05.09.pdf
As you can see, it is specific to importer and model. Most importantly, you can see that it is conditional on the records of the customers being properly recorded/maintained. This is why WPC approval of one model does not mean all other items of the same model are not also automatically type approved.
hey guys..i'm new to this hobby..so is feasible for individuals to get a particular model of interest licensed??..what will be the cost??
Please start from here :

Not sure about costs for WPC approval itself. The import license only part is Rs500, from what I remember.
Nice Info
