Hi Matt,
Any 7 channel or more Futaba, Hitec or JR radio will do what you want.
It is just a matter of preferance.
I fly with a Futaba 9CHP. It took me 3 years to learn all of the radios functions.
It is an incredibly versatile radio. But, Futaba instruction manuals are really poor!
Hitec and JR both have better manuals.
I want a new radio that has more capabilities than the 9CHP.
I know i am going to spend at least $1200.00.
I am considering switching to JR for two reasons.
1. The JR manuals are better.
2. The 10X has a metal case, NICE!. The Futaba 12MZ still has a cheezy plastic case. Glow fuel residue ruined the finish on my 9CHP.
I haven't made a final decision. I really like the capabilities of the Futaba 12MZ. But, I don't want to spend years learning another radio.
Oh well, it's a tough decision!

The Futaba 7C does NOT have mixing for dual elevator servos. You can program it, but the trim will only work on the master half, so that function is useless. I have a friends 7 channel Hitec, but have not come across any provisions for dual elvator servos in that manual either (yet).
Get yourself a 9Cap Futaba if you want to go with Futaba. I love mine, and it's very easy to set up once you learn the programming 'language'.
