Default Dual ailerons and duel elevators

I have a biplane, how do I get my ailerons and dual elevators set exactly the same at center? Then how do I get the travel on each
to be the same all through out the motion of travel? Would a JR matchbox servo adjuster help? I am using a Spektrum DX8 transmitter.
All constructive criticism will be appreciated. Thanks, Aframe2

Aframe, I am not all that familiar with your TX but I suspect that it has an option to plug all 4 aileron servos into the RX and mix them to function correctly. I know my A9 has that feature. Your TX also has the dual elevator option. I'm almost certain that you can do this without having to go to matchboxes or Y connectors. However way you do it, make sure that all 4 of your ailerons have exactly the same travel up and down. If not your airplane will not roll well at all.

If you only have 2 aileron servos then you mix another channel with ailerons, same with elevators. Then adjust each channel to match.
if you have 4 aileron servos a smart fly maybe the way to go

I have a couple of Smart Fly Equalizers that I would be willing to sell.

The DX8 has a Dual elevator tail and Dual Aileron found under the Wing Type menu. It only works for 2 ail. and 2 elev. servos though. If you have more servos then the Match Box or similar is the way to go.
