"Sorry to bother, So it's perfectly ok to use a 7 channel receiver? Its all I got.. Broadly speaking, whats the drawback of 7 vs 8 channels? Tx@! Chris."

"I've always been told they are great for cruise like a long distance jet does, but the advantage is small at model scales.  Now, on a flying wing they seem necessary for stability instead of massaging efficiency.  They do look nice."

"Thanks! That helped a lot! But I still can't arm my heli, unless I use mission planner. Maybe if somebody here knows the logic of arming i.e. what PWM values in what channels makes it arm/disarm, I believe it would really be of use for us."
