DX-18 Sequencer and electronic retract valves
Hey all, have a question. I am new to the 18 and am trying to figure out which route i want to take for the LG system. I am looking at getting the xicoy dual valves (1 for gear, 1 for doors). Can i plug them directly to the rx and sequence through the radio, or should i use a standalone sequencer? Which brings me to the next question-will a Jet tronics sequencer work with the xicoy valves (i already have one). Thanks!

I plugged my landing gear and gear door valve in my X plus eight module and used the sequencer on my 18X to program. You can use any valve or servo with the Jet tronic sequencer.

Just a quick question , I am using the Airpower retract valve , and using a 12 channel receiver with the Dx 18 , I assigned the X1 channel to the gear and use the sequencer to program the retract , Unfortunately it did not work , but later realized that the valve was defective , My question have you seen a problem doing it the way I did or is there an easier way out.

I've only done it once but in the sequencer; I created DOR and GER, assigned switches and speed, etc. I then create 2 mixes, one from DOR to the channel the door valve was plugged into and a second, GER to the channel the gear valve was plugged into. Then I verified operation in the servo monitor..
