High-channel count receiver shopping
Looking for a new receiver to go into a gasoline powered airplane.
Essential functions require at least four channels (A,E,R,T). Aileron and elevator requires four servos; could use "Y" harnesses here but would prefer dedicated channels so that brings it up to six channels.
Might like to add flaps - that's another two servos - so it's now either seven channels with a "Y" harness or eight w/o. I have plenty of 72 MHz equipment I could use but would like to use my DX9.
Looking at Spektrum receivers, I'm leery of features like AS3X and telemetry that may or may not be tailored to a specific kind of airplane and reviews stating an I-phone and cable are necessary to program said Rx to customize it to the particular airplane. All I want is a simple, basic 6- to (preferably) 8-channel receiver - is there anything available in 2019 that will work here?
