Default What do I need?, JR multibox, or JR Matchbox?

Hi all.
Just setting up a comparf super Extra 3.1m.
Can any one please tell me the difference between a macthbox, and a multibox?.
I'm thinking of going JR servo's like the manual suggest's, and the using matchbox's or mutlibox's to match the servos up for each surface.

Also on the Horizon site it has a few versions of the 8611 servo's, what servo's do you guys reccomend on a big model like this. Its my first gasser, bad choice hey!, just starting to realize that now.(much to big and complicated!)

Whoa! That was quite an undertaking for your first gasser!! Just take your time, get it checked over by someone used to the equipment you are using and you should be fine!

The multibox and matchbox are one and the same. Not sure why they are labelled differently.

I ordered 4 'matchboxes' once and got 3 JR Matchboxes and 1 Graupner Multibox (Graupner are JR distributors in Europe). Both do the same thing so don't worry.

As for the servos, just go with the regular metal geared JR8611 servo. Please also note that you should be running 2 servos per elevator as per Composite-ARF's recent recommendation.
