The hull Rx is a three channel receiver.  Channel's 1 and 2 control the
speed and direction (left stick on the Tx).  Channel 3 controls the
turret rotate (right stick on the Tx, left/right motion).

The turret Rx is a seven channel receiver.  Channel's 4 (right stick,
up/down) and 5 (flap button) control the elevate and trigger
respectively.

Both Rx's are on the same frequency and are controlled by the same
transmitter.  Because I was limited to a specific three channels on the
hull Rx (1, 2, and 3) I had to rewire the Tx a little bit to get the
control inputs to land on the channel number I wanted.  If both Rx's
were 7 channel I would not have had to rewire the Tx, just plug into the
appropriate channel on the hull or turret Rx.
