I have only one transmitter, a Futaba 8U, that I have used for many
years. The much newer 9C has more capabilities, but I have never felt
seriously handicapped in setting up my many kinds of planes (RES,
full-house open class, DLG, electrics...). When I have used a receiver
with limited numbers of channels (e.g;. four of five), it would have
been handy to just reassign channels in the transmitter. The easy work
around is to use a programmable mix in a master-slave arrangement. For
example in my Easy Glider (two ailerons, rudder and elevator), I have a
five-channel receiver, but the standard aileron assignments are channels
1 and 7. To fix this, I make channel 5 a slave to channel 7 and then
the usual built-in templates work fine. On the plane, the aileron
servos plug into channels 1 and 5. If you are using a plane with a
small number of servos, it is likely that you will have ample
programmable mixes available to do what you want.

Forgot one thing in the prior post. With the 9303 you can use a 4ch Rx
for discus (Berg, for instance, if you're really anxious about weight)
since the primary functions in the 9303 (rudder, elevator, aileron,
flap) are assigned to chs 1-4. Can't do that with the 9C (unless a late
rev in the Super allows channel re-assignment). Maybe that's why I'm
using the 9303 for discus and the 9C for other stuff.
Weight and ergonomics of both transmitters are virtually identical.
