Hi all,

Thanks all for the info, much appreciated. I will put the Wren in it.

Can I ask how I go about using the rudders as air brakes?

Matt would you mind posting a picture of your running gear installation?


Thanks again

Steve



Hi Steve,

Here is a pic, and a link to a thread I did on some of the install back 7 years ago.

For the rudders/airbrakes, you just put them on 2 separate channels (the nosewheel will need its own channel too) and mix an air brake function on a knob or switch that pulls them in together. They are surprisingly effective with very little pitch change. I had them canting out on the Bobcat and it almost made the plane stop in air.
