Tom,

Thanks for the great reply. A couple more questions, if you don't mind. First, how is the reliability of the UP 6 vs. the Smooth Stop? Any leaking problems with the UP 6? Which would you go with for a new scale jet (if you don't mind answering that question)?

I ask because I have a Smooth Stop and it works OK, but it also leaks. Unfortunately, I have not been able to stop the leak no matter what I've tried. However, it only leaks when going from brakes full-on to a mid-break position. I can go from full-on to full-off and from full-off to mid-brake or full-on without leaking air. I can use it that way as long as I make sure I turn the brakes all the way off after setting them for the takeoff run-up.

I'm considering the UP 6 as a more leak-proof, easier to setup solution to proportional brakes...

Thanks,
Bob
