To start, yes I am still building the Facet, it is built, I just need to cover it. I should have finished it out first, but I found the Kangaroo, the price was right and I hear it is a great trainer as well. I am going to transfer everything back to the Facet, but for the time being it is nice to have the engine out so I can readily get to it, since I am new to it and still trying to learn all the ins and outs.
Now back to the brakes. I thought about adding it to the elevator mix, but I can't see where I would be giving it down elevator on approach and ideally I would like to have some braking available at touchdown. Having come from a little bit of full scale experience, I have always used aerodynamic braking on my scale planes, where as you bleed off speed you use full up elevator to relieve some of the pressure from the nosewheel and to slow the plane. So I just don't feel comfortable using the mixing to the elevator. I do want to use the method you spke of with the three psotion switch, and I have the 142 page manual out to set it up this way, I just want to know how most everyone else does it.
Thanks for the info George
