Default Aeroworks 42% Extra 260

Anybody out there have any experience with this airplane? I have two of the 35%ers and am wondering why I would need a 10 channel radio at a minimum (according to the docs)? It would seem a 9 channel with a power box of some sort would handle it.

Gentlemen, many many thanks for the replies!

Just ordered one (Chief has a red one in stock). I trashed my Carden 300 yesterday and I'm having trouble convincing myself to order up another one just yet. So much money, so many pieces!

I'm especially encouraged that I don't have to go with 6 servoes in the wings.

Thanks again.

Gary
