You could probably make a nine channel work if you got a PE (Power Expander) which has multiple channel outputs for each input and can do servo matching as well, but that'll add about $500 to the price tag.
Holy Moly. Enlighten me on what all these channels are used for as I'm a rookie with larger scale models. IF I eventually go for a large scale it will probably be an ARF. The Top Flite P-51 would be top of my list. If you were in my shoes what would you be aiming for as far as a radio choice?

Thanks for your input
