Futaba 12 FG is basically a repackaged 12Z: instead of G3 receiver 5014DPS (12Z) there is 149DP (12FG). So 12FG has 8+1 channels, not 12. 12FG also comes without all G3 enhancements (until you buy a G3 receiver).
In addition there are some cosmetic changes like one dial less, two sliders in front (not back) of TX, smaller display with two buttons less etc.
Glad I managed to a 12Z before the importer replaced it with 12 FG in Europe.

Hi Ini,
Lucky you! Someday the 12z/fg will replace my 9z
Do you have any info on price? I think many of us are expecting it as the 9C replacement, especially since there is such a price gap between the 9c and 12z.
Thanks!
BTW for those mentioning the price gap, there has always been a large one between the 9c and 9z also. The 9z only, was like $850, the synthesized module $150. If you add the G3 RX at $339 (I know it won't work w/ the 9z but this is for comparison), well that puts it pretty close to the 12z price.
