I'm have the same questioning...I read somewhere that shipping of the 10C will start mid June...therefore if it's not out early July I might go with something else. It would be very interesting if people from Futaba, for once, would read our posts and give a straight and honest answer.

I wish I could fly 24/7

boy do i feel your pain.
i was on the list for a 10C, and after it got pushed back 3 times i was set for the 12FG too, but with that kinda money being spent, i went for the 12Z.........look at it this way, if you add the 12FG trainer chord which is 30 bucks more than the one the 12Z uses, then add a nice case, you are now within 150 bucks of the 12Z.
what did it for me was the volume adjustment capabilities as i use the countdown timers and need to hear them, the 12Z use more expensive sticks,

the li-ion battery is much easier in regards to maintenance, the LCD screen is bigger and has nicer graphics, the menu navigation is much easier with the return keys that are missing on the 12FG, the CF card is going to allow you to download and use setups from other 12Z/14Z users, and there are a few other little doodads that make buying the 12Z justifiable.
at first i was pee'od at Futaba for the 10C delays, but now i couldn't be happier.

I said screw it and I bought the 12fgh and a case from tower hobbys for a total of $1180. The 12 fgh makes my 9c feel generic and I think the 10c is the same feel as the 9c. Overall im glad I bought the 12fgh and not the 10c.

Futaba is not learning from any of this because you guys buy Futaba anyway. If lots of people were going to by some other make than Futaba would have a lesson. I'm saying this and still waiting anyway for the 10C.

I wish I could fly 24/7

The real big difference between the radios is dependent on whether you have eCCPM helis and whether you are really fussy about interaction.

On the 12FGH you can eliminate all interaction between the three channels.

Im also a new user of the 12fgh had it for 2 weeks and have not flown with it yet. I really need to find out more about the li-ion battery being sold for it.

I am planning to use the 2 1900mah 2 cell lipo that came with my Align 2-1 regulators that are now being removed from my ships.

10c & 120 eccpm

Did Futaba add any special programing features to 10C to dial out the swash dancing & eccpm interaction issues?
If I recall correctly, both 12z & fg have the swash detail and the servo speed adjustment menues to resolve these eccpm isses.
