Newbie Radio Suggestions please

I’m new to R/C. I want to buy a quadcopter. The most confusing part seems to be related to the radios. I went looking at Spectrum radio receivers. They have many models. Specifically, the receivers for Heli… do I need that for a quad copter? Or should I get a basic airplane receivers. I’m looking for 6, or 7 channels.

Thanks.
