Default New Futaba 10J radio

http://www.futaba-rc.com/systems/futk9200-10j/

10 channel radio with S-bus and telemetry capability from Futaba, for $350.

I am curious what might be 'missing' from this radio to make it ideal for our use, and how it stacks up to something like the 10CG or 14SG. I see there is a difference between FHSS, FAST, etc. I personally have been just fine with FHSS technology and don't see that as a need to spend the extra bucks.

While it doesn't have flight conditions, as with other Futaba radios, you can assign rates to the same switch and adjust expo and such on each, so for our needs, it simulates flight conditions just fine. The 14sg is the same way. It doesn't have as many mixes and such, nor high end gimbal, but it is certainly capable of flying a pattern plane.

Arch, any idea on if/when Futaba may be releasing a replacement for the 12Z?

Not sure. I don't even know if they have any plans to do so. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

What are some of the major differences between this radio and the 10C?

I assume the higher-end radios have a better feel to them?
