Bob,
Now, I do have a question and I've always wondered about this. My two matchboxes have a battery port, which is used mainly for connecting a battery to them if the matchboxes are connected far (36" +) from the Rx. Would the matchboxes allow battery power (e.g. 2X 5 cell @ 6V) to power the Rx instead of using the battery port on the Rx? So if my batteries going to the Rx port were to fail, would the matchbox batteries continue powering my Rx?

If My memory serves me correctly, the matchbox power will go to the servos only, the Rx will need its own power. There is a jumper in the matchbox to tell it if it has seperate power to the servos.
