Update from the FrSky forum, from an FrSky moderator: http://www.frsky-rc.com/BBS/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5750&sid=717b9a5c629723ff554e6991cabe9e5b

Hi, we plan to put it into the market in June this year, please be patient.

Oh, goodie....!

Later on  in July 2015 the same FrSky guy wrote this:

The Horus/X12D is presume release at fourth quarter of this year.
Thanks interesting and patience.

Morgan,

Nice catch! Even though I love my Taranis gear, I don't visit the FrSky website very often, as it's not very good...

These do indeed look like early production radios...

Will check around the other usual places for FrSky info...

Update: Here's an FrSky Forum announcement saying that the X12S "Horus" is "released" whatever that means...
