I havnt had to mix down elevator with brakes for a while now, and have forgotten how to do it. This compiled with me not being able to locate my JR12x manual has me a bit frustrated at this point.

Could someone with a JR12x please explain to me how to mix brakes with Down elevator PLEASE!!

Thanks

Step by Step is always good

Ok,,, i got the mix part down. That was easy enough.. But the problem im having is how to make the brakes only work at the 50% down elevator position.

Bottom left of the mix screen there is feature called offset - this allows you to offset the point at which the slave channel comes in in relation to the travel of the master. Just change the value to the point where the brakes come in where you want them.

If you haven't already, use the Retract switch to turn the mix on/ off. Turn it on when the gear is down, Off when up so, that you don't dump all your air whenever you use down elevator while flying.

Great idea.... I've been doing that as well as activating the nose wheel steering with the retract switch on all my jets......ONE CAUTION....
If you use a gear fail safe, be sure to select gear down when the gear drops automatically to activate the brakes and steering.

Nothing worse than having the fail safe-safe save the belly of your bird only to high speed taxi off the end of the runway into the rough or into the fence...
