Thanks smartmove!

There you go again, tIANci, with the "it's a nicer plane" bit... you know... I personally love the way the Matrix looks OVER the Extra. In fact the hobby owner tried to sell the Extra first and I wasn't taking it. The Matrix on the other hand, I thought was fabulous from first glance. He had 8 kits on hand, 4 of each, which sold out within two days. So at the end of the day, both seem to be pretty hot in Taiwan! Anyway, thanks for the tip on CG!

I don't see how you could have the 300 balance perfectly! I mean it is 2" longer than the Matrix. What engine are you using? I will have put the battery pack in the nose to get it to balance at even 110! Maybe I should've used some smaller, lighter servos in the back! We'll see.

And... it requires at least 6 channels, 7 if you don't want to use the y leads with the ailerons... You can get away with 4 only if you use two Y leads and a servo reverser for one of the two elevator servos.
