Wow, Geistware, that is a pretty powerful condemnation of the Futaba 7C. I bought my 7CAP because I wanted a full-featured computer radio that could handle both airplanes and helicopters, wasn't ridiculously expensive, and would be easy to operate and program. Another factor in my decision was my owning of a Futaba 4YF radio and a Futaba buddy box. Choosing the 7C allowed me to use my 4YF and/or buddy box with my new radio as well.

The 7C has its limitations, and the lack of dual elevator servo support is certainly the most glaring one. It is a great radio system overall, however, and it's a terrific fit for folks like me who already owned Futaba transmitters or buddy boxes and wanted something more advanced that would still be compatible with their old equipment.

I use my 7C for sport planes, entry level pattern planes, and indoor and outdoor electrics. It's been a terrific radio, and as long as you know dual elevator servos will require an extra accessory, it's a perfectly viable choice.
