Default RE: Brakes for Jets

Hi All:

My brakes systems are

1. Trim wheels' - I'd put some silicone grease but somehow I am getting black compound around the axis after a few flight.

2. Airpower disc brakes - It's kind of tight when I step on the brake, so I think adding some grease to prevent lock up would be nice.


About the brake control setup.

What's your preferred radio setup for the brake?

I am more comfortable with the down elevator stick control, but my instructor wants me do set it up on the right lever. However, I fly with 2 fingers on each control stick, so I am not comfortable with that setup. Just wondering what yours are.

I am thinking about using a push botton on my TX, so I can click the botton to simulate anti lock, just for the fun of it.

Any suggestions,

Thanks,

Mike
