Default JR MatchBox, Spectrum Dx8, Elevator setup

I am in the final stages of completing a Seagull Yak 54, saito 1.25.

For the elevator setup I have installed a JR MatchBox, one servo in 1-5, the other in 2-6. system bound. However the servos are running opposite of each other. I've never used a MatchBox and am having trouble getting to work as needed. One servo goes up while the other goes down when moving the elevator stick.

The instructions, not surprising are rather poor.

Question: how do I get both servos to work together in my setup? That is...all up or all down when elevator stick is moved up or down.

Servo 1: plugged into 1-5
Servo 2: plugged into 2-6

Servo lead from MatchBox to elevator port on AR 8000

You would have the matchbox pluged into the elevator on the RX, then one servo pluged into #1 position on the matchbox and used position #1 on the rotary switch, plug other servo into the #2 position on the matchbox and then use position #6 on the rotary switch to set up the servo, as positions #5-8 are the reverse positions on the matchbox. Matchbox instructions are attached. After all adj are done with the matchbox turn the rotary switch clockwise through position 9 to 0 to save the settings before turning off.

Cheers

Worked...I didnt understand that the 5-6 position were referring to the same channel...

Thank you for the help!
