Default Match Boxs

Hey, I have a QQ 102 yak and am trying to set up my radio for that plane. Rate now i have 2 matchboxes and a smart fly system. My question is can i put 4 8611 on one match box, plugged into the Smart fly system so i can use the other match box to align elevator servos? If not is there any way i can mix two different channels to align the elevator servos perfectly. I can use the Aux 1 channel because i have the other wing plugged in there.

Thanks

You could eleminate the match box on the elevators, use the programming in the transmitter to match them up... I am almost positive you could do the same on the ailerons.

On a JR radio if you have more than 1 servo per side you almost have to have matchbox for each wing (if you want differential to be programmed by the radio). You can use one matchbox and program differential with linkages.

You can also use all your spare channels up and several mixes to put all 4 servos on their own channels and mix accordingly.

But typically you use the flaperon function and that gives you aileron and aux 1(I beleive) as your aileron left and right.

Or get the smart-fly EQ-10 and you can use that to mix everything.

On My QQ Yak 102" I have one match box in each wing. So only one wire to plug up when assembling at the field. My Elevator servos are plug into two different channels and program through radio. Rudder I have a matchbox also. But I am not running a power expander. Just a 9 channel rx. It would be possible for you to just use one matchbox for wing and one for rudder or elev.
