It does but I don't have the time to spend reading the manual and working through all the trim an offset functions that will come to bear. JR likes to provide about 40% of what you need in the manuals and let you struggle and fumble through from there. Since I use the Matchboxes a lot it only takes about ten minutes to have both servos dialed in and ready to go.

I have the battery packs noted and like not having to charge everyday with a 50cc plane. Also flying 3D places a heavier amp load on batteries not normally encountered in IMAC. The day I see 45 degree deflections used in an IMAC contest for the majority of the maneuvers I'm going home. Using the sizes I noted I can fly for 2 or 3 days and no recharge. The weight penalty is 3.3 ounces over using a smaller flight battery. For me the use of nimh or nicad batteries is not an option. If there was a substantial weight savings with the same capacity I would go with lithium manganese for both and use the same Fromeco regulators.

As for the servos, I'm one that likes to "over size" so I can move equipment up, not just down. If I buy and fly a servo that's more than I need for a small plane it will be there when I go to a larger plane. For a few bucks per servo up front I save from having to buy twice and come out quite a few dollars ahead in the end. The fact that I've even considered Hitec servos is quite a step for me, so I'm not going with minimun equipment lists. I learned a long, long time ago that purchasing what a plane "requires" sets me up for having to buy the same number of products in a beefier size all over again for the next plane. That's worked with engines, radios, servos, and just about everything else I've used. That justs costs waaay too much in the long run.

BTW, when I went over to the flying field used by Jeffro#### in Oregon we flew from 10 am to 7:00pm and I quit counting the number of times I flew after the sixth flight. That's a lot of battery time without recharging. So now everyone has my reasoning for the equipment used. It can be done a couple ounces lighter and a few dollars cheaper, but this method is just my way.
