Hi
thank you for the info. I also have CARF Viper jet with about 145 flights on it so far.
I only went back to air brakes because of the lack of progressive breaking on the Elec version.
If I revert to original Elec brakes :
Will these be progressive
It seems I should use separate 2S Lipo
Currently the gear is powered from the PB Comp which is fed with 2x5400 loop over nose wheel for balance as I use a 180 jetcat for power.
The current system has worked ok except as I say for brass traveller breakages owing to the lack of material at the screw thread point. I have re made these with phosphor bronze replacements which seems to have solved the problem.
so is it worth converting back to elec on the brakes ?
i currently use a small demand valve from Festo to regulate brake pressure.
I also had the elec brakes lock up at stop and pulling the plane back by hand. It is as if there is a residual magnetism still present after releasing the elec brake. After about 10secs it has dissapeared
I am also keen on the gyro steering and separated brake possibilities
Regards
David
