You need to get a radio that has 6,7,8,or 9 channels to do what you are asking to do. The first 4 controls are aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle. This takes up 4 channels. Most of the radios then get into flaps, with a couple of switches that can be used for other thing's. As for brands, there is Futaba, JR, and Airtronics to name a few. I prefer the Futuba and I just love my 7C as it does what I want it to do and allows me the set things up the way that I want it to. As for which one is the best, that depends on who you talk to. I just got a Tower Talk in the mail and the 7C and the 9C are both at a good price. Good Luck, Dave
