Jetronics dual valves
Is it possible to delay the extension of the gear leg by 2 seconds with the jetronics dual valve? The valve is set to factory default. I know I can put a restricter in the line to slow it down a bit but would prefer for it to just delay and then come down with authority. The only reason I ask is the door and gear are very close to the same time and I cannot change the door.

I do have them of two valves as you mentioned. I am using the sequencer in the radio for the doors. I was hoping that using the dual valve with no sequencer it would be possible to pause the gear for a brief moment to give the doors some extra time. I cannot speed them up. I can use an adjustable restricter to do this if needed.
Thanks for the response.

Then with the Tx secuencer you should be able to control the signal to the gear and door valves independently with the appropiate delays in each one, for the up and down secuence.
At least thats what I do with my Tx. If your Tx can´t do that, then I believe the only way would be with external adjustable restrictors.

Put the two valves on a Y lead and take the signal wire of the gear valve through a micro switch mounted on the door to operate when the door is close to end of travel. Have used this system on my f18 to stop the front and rear main doors clashing without needing to have loads of clearance round them!

Yup,
Dave’s system is the easiest. I went the microswitch route back in the days of my 10x with Spektrum module and was limited to 9 channels! You forget how quickly radios have advanced In the last few years!

Jet Tronics valves are now owned by JetCat, Horst is fully retired now so he sold the business.
