sorry for replying to myself, miscounted channels
I think 7 channels is enough
elev - 2
rudder - 1
alieron - 1 (reverse Y ) ?
flaps - 1 ( reverse Y ) ?
throttle - 1
gear - 1
previously on a ultra stick with a quad flap set-up I was using 2 channels for flaps and 2 for alierons,
The reverse Y cables wouldn't be needed.
You hook up the ailerons witout the reverser every time.
The flaps can be hooked up with one side's control horn just a tad outboard of the other side's... and then no reverser is needed. the discrepancy of the control horn being out 1 to 1.5 inch will have no effect at all on a plane that is large enough to need dual servos for the flaps.
(or you have the one servo mounted a bit further outboard than the other and you need 1/4 of a penny to latterally balance the thing.)
