Default How can I setup Futaba 7c 2.4ghz?

I want to use the following setup for my flight power system on my Futaba 7C 2.4 ghz. for my 30% Extra using 5 Hitec 7955's and a throttle servo.
Will be using 2x A123's for Rx and one 2000 NIMH for Ignition.

How can I best achieve the following?

- a Votlmagic battery monitor plug in (Hangtime Hobbies)
- an Opti Kill switch for throttle
- a redundant Rx system (each plugged into the Rx seperately)

Is this too much for a 7 channel system?
I was planning on Y's but not sure where best to use them.

thanks in advance

Well the battery monitor is not of any use with the a123s. Hopefully they are 2 1100mah a123s for the 30% because bigger would be a lot of weight combined with a nimh for ignition. I run 1 2300mah a123 on rx(I can fly all day) and 1 1100 on ignition. Redundant rx is way overkill for 50cc in my opinion. You should be fine with 7 channels:
1. Aileron 1
2. Either elevator half one or use a eq2 or matchbox for both sides(worth the money to get a matchbox or eq2)
3. Throttle
4. Rudder
5. Elevator half 2 or kill switch or aileron 2
6. kill switch if not on ch 5 or aileron 2
7. rx power. or kill switch on a y if 5-6 are occupied
