I've read somewhere that it was due to be released early summer too.

According to Futaba's own website the 12FG is a 2.4ghz set only.

I'm not sure about the 12FG. What's going on with the normal aerial fitting on top of the TX and also the short aerial for the 2.4ghz module on the back, see http://2.4gigahertz.com/systems/futk9200-2.jpg...

Is the 12FG not originally a dedicated 2.4ghz set or something that Futaba have rushed onto the market?
