What are the differences between the Futaba T12FG and T12Z ??????????????????'
About $500 USD

The link above is a good comparison

BTW I have a 12FG and I feel it is a good radio from a user standpoint, however; I am a bit nervous about recent reports of (pot/encoder/circuit) failures...i.e. elevator failure in particular, I know of two different owners that had their elevator stick function fail on the transmitter and cause total loss of the airframes...

You can visualize the failure (aside from the carnage it causes to your airframe) when it occurs in the AFR menu screen where the display tracks the stick movement.
When the (pot/encoder/circuit) fails the movements are erratic on the display as compared to the stick movement and they do not center when the stick is allowed to return to neutral, additionally the end points may be offset from the full defection of the stick.

So far my radio has been fine...but you can bet I check my AFR screen with stick movements regularly
