    Well it would appear from my sources that Futaba have something cooking in the kitchen. Something slightly upmarket from the 14SG - the 18SZ. Rumors state that it has a touch screen interface with a BIG color display. This might be something to be very excited about if you are in the market for a new transmitter

      Looks really nice. I wonder if it will have a $3000 price tag like the 18MZ, or if it will be more reasonably priced.

      If the ¥140,000 price for the Tx & Rx shown on one of the pictures is correct it will be about AUD$1,500 or USD$1,200.

      $885.78 USD...Hmmm. Had I know about this one, maybe I would have waited for it to be released before buying a new transmitter. No buyer`s remorse here though...the 14SG is fantastic, and I really love it. :)

      14sg is very nice. Not one hiccup here, it just works and works well. The touch screen interface would probably be one of the better selling points IMO. Once your heli is set up however you dont need to really touch much. As for the bells and whistles, I am usually to busy concentrating on flying to really worry about anything else.
