Status: offline 		I would like to get an official answer to my question from the Futaba reps. Is the 12FG being discontinued by Futaba? If so, how long will I continue to be able to get my 12FG serviced?

Is the 12Z also being discontinued?

Bob

Bax,
I understand you may not know or be allowed to give out specific or estimated release dates.
However, can you let us know if the 12FG will be replaced? If so, will it have more channels and approximately when? Some time in 2013?
