Hi,

I use the graupner 16/20 with a lot of extra switches. I started with
just with the sticks, ie 5 channels, and added the switches and knobs
when I needed them.

Today I'm using 8 channels (gyro-senisive, rat-HH and governer-speed),
one idle-up and one expo-switch (controlling all the expo-modes).

My next rx will be a JR 10x, I will buy it when I really needs more
advanced flight-modes.
