These are my personal favorites in a standard size and they among the most bomb proof ever. Digitals will buy you absolutely nothing in a trainer or at this stage of your development.

As far as the set up of the ailerons it is most common these days is two aileron servos and they are plugged into separate channnels and thats fine however programing flaps for use in a trainer is completely pointless and agine will buy you nothing that will be apparent to you but what it will buy is a more difficult airplane to land and once agine we have a case where the fellows just have to have all the so called secrets and it will only hinder their climb up that skills ladders. No matter what you think your abilities are.
If you really want to learn and acheve flight skills then flaps on a trainer are counter productive and will only slow down your climb up that airmanship ladder.
