[NSRCA-discussion] 12Z vs 12FG

[Woodward, Jim (US SSA)]

I have the 14 MZ and 12 FG.  I actually fly the 12FG more lately, because I threw everything into it besides pattern or IMAC.  Helis (90 sized CCPM), and Raptor 50, various foamies.  The 12 FG programming and overall mix functions is VERY CLOSE to the 12Z and 14MZ.  While I love the 14, I've gotten used to the 12FG case feel.  For the money - the 12FG offers TREMENDOUS programming capability.

If you like metal case, go with the 12Z.  If you want to save $$, get the 12 FG.
Thanks,

I have the 12Z.  Here are the major differences between them.

12Z has a metal case, the 12FG has a plastic case.
12Z uses a standard formatted CF (CardFlash) memory card, the 12Fg uses a specially formatted SD card (unreadable on a pc without special (free) software from Futaba.
12Z has 4 trim switches, 12FG has 6 trim switches (same as the 14MZ)

They are almost identical when it comes to programmability.  Basically comes down to if you want a metal case, get the 12Z, otherwise, get the 12FG.  Virtually the same radio for a lot less.

Thinking of buying a better radio. (Please, no JR remarks here). Have been a Futaba guy for many years, have lots of FASST stuff already. I'm interested in either the 12Z or the 12FG. What are the differences, why would you buy one over the other, etc. Will be using for pattern and for IMAC.

Thanks in advance,

Bob R.
