KO PROPO is a brand of radio control equipment and humanoid robot ( KHR-1) by Kondo Kagaku, established in Tokyo, Japan in 1945.
In 1982 KO PROPO introduced the Expert EX-1, reported to have been the first to integrate a pistol grip into a transmitter device with a gun trigger to act as the throttle, which later became a popular fixture in radio controlled transmitters. [1] [2]
As of 2016 [update] the company had won 32 IFMAR World titles. [3]
