RE: DX7 question
I flew my Elan with a DX7 and I did not use a matchbox. You'll need a Y-harness for flaps, elevators, and ailerons. For rudders and steerable nose gear I used 2 Y-harnesses.
There are no sliders on the DX7, so I used down elevator for my brakes by mixing elevator with an aux. channel for brakes. The brakes were automatically activated when
flaps were full down.

YOu can get the gear control box from Andy Low and it will give you 9 channels and you can fly a jet on it. I would recommend using the 9 channel receiver though, use the remaining channels for power inputs for dual batteries. It gives you extra antennas for better reception. I would not fly an expensive jet on a 7 ch receiver anymore with the better ones out there. It worked but...
Its not that much more money for the 9 ch TX..

The 9 channels don't all come with additional satalites, although I agree that the powersafe reciever is worth the extra $ in a turbine model

If you can avoid it don't put the ailerons on a Y lead, you can then mix in reflex with down flap and get a much more controlled and slow landing speed.

RE: DX7 question
I flew a Rookie II with the DX7. I had The canards as brakes, thurst vectoring and it works excelent. I now use the same radio for my Yellow F-18 twin and a 50% Challenger. I bought the DX 7 when they first came out and have never had a problem.
