If I put the CJ retracts it will only be 9 servos and 1 mini servo for the valve.

Going Vert, thanks for the link for the equalizer. Thats probably the route I'll take. Its a little less than the JR matchbox

This is a classic example of what radio you should buy when starting out in this hobby. 3 years ago I bought the 7 channel and now I wish I had purchased the 8 or 9 channel. If you plan on growing in this hobby go ahead and take the plunge in the beginning for a radio you can grow into!!
