RE: Futaba's new 10 ch 2.4???
Ehab, it looks OK, but I question Futaba's delivery dates based on past delivery date promises that have not come to pass.
I was on the waiting list for the 8 channel 2.4 module and receiver for my 9C for what seems eons - and then thought I'd just get the 10C with how things have been going with the failed delivery dates on the 8C modules - but now I am seriously considering going to JR due to inability of Futaba to deliver the product. For what it is worth I think the Futaba radios that do exist (not vapor ware) - they are really outstanding units.

RE: Futaba's new 10 ch 2.4???
It seems that Tower hobbies dates are the most reliable. they had announced the 14MZ 2.4 conversion for mid march and they are in already. I still do not like the antenna placement, it does not look integrated nor professional to me. The 2.4 is still in its early stage for RC use and it seems to me that some mfg's are not doing enough market research or testing to provide us customers with exactly what we need. Still enjoying seeing it happen thu!!!

That is exactly why I made the switch to JR. I have a new 9C that I wanted to get the module for but the date kept ( now mid March on Tower ) kept getting pushed back. I saw the 10C 2.4 and thought maybe but the date I just can't trust anymore. At the time I was considering the 10C a few weeks back it wasn't even on Futaba's website. I never had a problem with Futaba but I'm really loving my new X9303 so far.

RE: Futaba's new 10 ch 2.4???
For those that are commenting on the dates slipping, the dates are not actually slipping...tower is fulfilling backorders and thus do not have additional units to sell.
Ehab, I read that the 10C is a 1024 resolution radio. Pretty sad if true. The best radio for the price right now is the 12FG. I am not sure the 12X will surpass it from a feature standpoint.

That cannot be true. I have been on back order for nearly half a year to get my 9C on the FAAST module through Tower Hobbies. The date has been moved many, many times a month at a time. With this performance, I might expect the same for the 10C but I am probably unwilling to try my luck based on the odds. Sincerely, a potentially new JR customer
(I've flown Futaba for 25 years! Doh!)

This is the Futaba R6014FS 2.4GHz FASST 14-Channel
FEATURES: Futaba advanced technology allows this receiver to be the first
2.4GHz receiver able to utilize all 14 channels. It retains
G3 2048 resolution and Futaba Real Time Response from the
72MHz version.
That is the receiver the 10C uses.(2.4Ghz) I don't think it can use the PCM G-3 receiver's though. (72Mhz)

On the web site and another forum they (great planes) said it is 1024 even with the 6014fs rx.

Ehab,
You need to fly jets to need a radio. Just an FYI.
