I started out with the Xicoy LGC-15 on 2S. Since the JP retracts can only use 2S the brake power is also limited to 2S from the LGC-15. I switched to the AG-63 to allow brakes to use 3S power. For a while it worked excellent. Perfect straight steering and braking. But then the brake outputs on the AG-63 stopped working. The steering still worked. So I went back to the JP brake controller that is now toast. I've been told that the heavier jets need 3S to get the stopping power from the JP brakes. That is why I switched away from the LGC-15.

Vincent, did the SM air brakes fit on the JP gear with out a lot of fuss or machining? Where did you get the SM 1/6 F-16 brakes?
