Default Do all gas engine planes require 4 channels?

Hi Wings,
highflyer picked a good radio the price in Tower Hobbies Tower Talk catalog the Futaba 6EXA FM computer radio is $179.99 with $10 rebate on sale untill Oct. 31st.

The Futaba 6YG Skysport FM radio is $149.99 with $10 rebate(not computer).
Each radio comes with 4 servos.

The built up planes that I have found for 4 channels are from Tower Talk:

Eagle 2 Kit-63" wing span-Carl Goldberg.
There are several Sig Kadet built up kits. Some have combos with an engine. The size of engine depends on the altitude you're flying at.

I belive that a beginner should learn to build a built up model to learn the construction of a model. The ARF's are great for someone who doesn't have time to build.
I like to build kits or scratch build, also (after building several kits) modify the plane and get a lot of satisfaction from it.
