Tommy, glad to hear the Facet is coming along.

When I was using an 8103, my brakes were always on the down elevator b/c there were no sliders and I didn't apply any braking for landing. I do believe the majority of people are setting up brakes on the slider switch (10X, 9Z, or 9C). Unfortunately the 8103 lacks this feature.

You are correct about not using down on the approach, but I was implying that you would apply down stick after landing. You would could still do that method and have light braking applied for landing, but you would have to use another mix to apply light braking on landing approach, much like flipping a switch for flaps. It looks like you will be using to mixes no matter which way you configure it.
