Throt = 1
Eile = 1 prob 2ch
Aile = 1 prob 2ch
Rudd = 1 pos 2ch
Flap = 1
Nose wheel = 1ch
Gear = 1ch
Brake = 1ch
Air Brake =1ch
Lights = 1ch
Smoke =1ch

The list above seems to me like a fairly comprehensive airframe and even using 1 command channel per surface or function it still only adds up to just the 14ch.
Add this to Jetis RXs ability to trim and adjust any number of output/socket independently from the Tx allows functions like duel flaps or twin rudders to be operated from a single command function.

Thoughts any one, I'm sure some of you will have other function's I have not thought of
Lots more! My EE Lightning has 20 devices and I could fit more yet. One of my F-86 has 18 devices. They don't all need individual Tx channels but it is best if they each have their own output at the Rx in a programmable Rx so that for instance one Tx flap channel can be mapped to two Rx outputs which is what I do at the moment with Weatronic. It seems that Jeti can do similar. Systems that don't have programmable Rx need Tx channels or y leads. That's why I have been asking questions about how a Jeti system with max 16 outputs on the 18ch rx with rsats, could expand up to dealing with 20 devices. It's not clear from jeti's website how I could link up Rx etc and expand the system.
