Also why do you need an 8 channel minimum TX ?
You have ailerons =1, Flaps 1, rudder 1, retracts 1, electric motors 1 elevator 1, I am up to 6 channels in total considering all flaps are linked, the ailerons are linked , the esc are linked , so what am I doing wrong ?
Not sure I would want the ESCs Y'd together on one channel for throttle. Also, it would be advantageous, but not absolutely necessary, to have the nose steering on a separate channel from the rudder allowing ground steering adjustments without messing up the rudder trim.
I will be using a 14 channel receiver and will not be using any wye connectors on mine. Being able to individually adjust everything is really nice.
