Mixes
Tommy, on the 8103 you can use one or two of the six mixes and do it a number of ways. What channel are you using for brakes?
You can inhibit the knob also. You can also mix the brakes with down elevator. If you go with the "down ele" method, you should use the mix that allows some curve adjustment then it would be proportional to how much down you're giving. Also, you'll be able to turn that mix off with gear retracted so no air is being spent during the flight with the application of down stick.
You can also use two mixes to set them up on the 3-position switch. Use one mix for the center position (light braking) and the second mix for the down or up position (full braking).
It's very easy if the radio was sitting in front of me, and quite a bit harder to explain in writing. Let me know, maybe we could walk through it over the phone.
