just been out on got myself a big bag of #64 rubber bands. all set with them and also printed myself off a manuel as i bought it second hand and didnt have one. Tonight i will adjust the throws and check how good these new rubebr bands are.

What about battery and receiver installation. I have the ar7000 receiver (i think) the one that comes with the dx7. using a 6v nimh battery. Any hints/tips with these with installation and access for the aileron servo before flight......

So far the battery is velcro to the bottom with some spong stuff underneath it, the main receiver is rapped in foam and the small receiver is velcro to the side of the plan (inside ofcourse)

Just been adjusting all of the throws. Here is a link as to what they should be.

Are the measurements from center to one side or from one side to the other. Eg. should the rudder move 20mm from center stick to one side, then another 20mm from the center to the other side giving me a total of 40mm movement?

You might check your manual on the reciever install. Some 2.4 recievers are heat sensitive and so shouldn't be wrapped.

Yes, just like you have described it: measure from center to each side.

Sorry, I don't know about your receiver, here is a review:
