Yes, they GOTTA match, but we're not talking about matching, we're talking about how much they MOVE for an initial flight. After that, their throw will depend on how YOU want it to fly.

Give me ANY 40 - 60 size plane with 1/2" on all throws, and I will safely fly and land it, and then decide if anything needs to change.

All I am saying is that many people are overly concerned with this initial set up. The TLAR (That Looks About Right) system is good enough to get any plane in the air. And as I said before, if it's not, you're not a good enough pilot to do a maiden flight anyway.
