Guys, I requested some information on the Futaba Support Forum and it was not answered. I posted the question in January and sent reminders. I still don't have a response, three months later. So, I am going straight to the best source, the consumer. What I would like to know is:

1. Which of these three radios have ball bearing gimbals?
2. Does each gimbal have a ball bearing for each axis?
3. Do any of these have dual ball bearings per axis?

If you own one of these radios and know the answer, please post your knowledge.

Thanks

I think the 12FG does and maybe the 12Z but not the 10C

Woodie, thanks for the link. There is a good explanation of the 12FG, 12Z and 14Z, but it is still not clear what the 10C uses. If there is a 10C owner that knows, please post. Thanks

Neobob, thanks for the input. Have you had access to a 10C to check?

That same link explaining the gimbals and ball bearings says the following about the 10C:

"The 10C gimbal is essentially the same as the one used in the 9C, and does not have ball bearings. " (by Bax)
