Why use matchboxes when you can program them? It easier and it's gurenteed to match perfectly. Go downlod the video from www.downonthedeck.com It it give you all the information you need to do so.

I am using them on my a current set up in a new 35% Carden Extra. I have not flown the plane yet. In 40 minutes of working the servos with the transmitter to make sure everything is OK with no glitches they work just fine.

The Hitec computer is great to work with but it was at my buddies place. I had two matchboxes laying around so I decided to use them. I was amazed how fast I had the two rudder servos and the elevator servos all set up.

Yes they will work fine, but If you have the option to program them you can get them much more precise. It's a little difficult but well worth it. Good Luck.

Matchboxes or Smart Fly Equalizers will work just fine. I do recommed just programming them if you can, definetly more precise plus the fact that you transit duration is completely linear once programmed, and not do with the matchboxes/equalizers once you have changed the end points.

no one should ever use a matchbox when you have hitec digitals and a programmer.
