Guys. Time has come to start saving for this great radio that Futaba recently announced - 18MZ

http://www.rctech.com.tw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1694:futaba-t18mz&catid=42:2011-03-19-10-01-42&Itemid=100014

HUGE NEWS from the Shizuoka trade show in Japan this week. Futaba announced the 18MZ transmitter! Six years ago the 14MZ was introduced and it redefined what a transmitter could do for the pilot. Now, the 18MZ redefines this once again. Welcome to the world’s most advanced radio control transmitter! 18 channels, bidirectional FASSTest technology and a huge 640 x 240 LCD touch screen name just a few of its key features. Stay tuned for more details to come…

If I had that Radio in my hands, I would use 18 channels for -
1 - Throttle
2-  Aileron
3 - Rudder
4 - Elevator
5 - Landing Gear
6 - Landing Gear brakes
7 - Air Brakes
8 - Lights
9 - Engine Starter
10 - Flaps
11 - Slats
12 - Rev thrust
13 - Canards (for some planes)
14 - Bomb Drop
15 - Pyrotechnics(small explosives, rockets)
16 - Smoke
17 - Telemetry
18 - FPV camera Control
