Default Futaba 10fg or 12fg

With the wealth of information available, would someone be so kind to point out the clear advantage of the 12fg over the 10fg. I have been using Futaba since 1969, currently PCM 9CHP & FF7. I have found programming the 9 quite good.
Turbines with Flaps & Retracts are my upper limit, maybe a smoke system somtime in the future.
One drawback of the 12 seems to be that it is not backwardly compatibile with the 9 & 7 Ch pcm Rx, (6 of which I have) which the 10fg will do.
Is the resolution of the 12 twice that of the 10?
Is there a dedicated 10 or 12 2.4GHz set on the way, the current method rather looks like a duct tape / bandaid interim measure, but I do understand the usefulness of module swapping back to 36MHz with the 10fg ( this is Australia)
As it is here, we are enjoying the use of 2.4MHz sets, uncluttering our 36MHz band.

We believe you are asking about the 10C. There is no 10 FG. There are significant differences between the two systems. The 10C is a maximum of 10 control channels: eight fully-proportional and two switched. The 12FG has 12 fully-proportional channels and 2 switched. The programming and capabilities of the 12FG are much, much greater than the 10C. Here are the features:

Thanks Bill,
I incorrectly had 10FG filed as the Model name and hence had a great deal of difficulty searching for info.
Once using 10c & 12 fg, the info was already available.
many thanks.
Perhaps close this post?
