.....................How can I set-up the Tamjets gear fail safe with 2 channels.
You can't, they are single channel. IF both channels can be activated at the same time without delay/sequencing then you can plug the second servo into the AUX port on the unit, but if this were the case, you'd only need one valve in the first place

I wonder if you could setup the Tam sequencer on a separate channel and then mix the channel with your gear switch so that if the Tam unit goes into failsafe then the mix would activate your gear? Have you called Tam yet?

[sm=confused.gif] the Tam failsafe is activated via air pressure, has nothing at all to do with the radio failsafe system.

It operates the gear servo when it senses low airpressure right? so why couldn't you mix that signal on one channel to operate another channel (i.e. the true gear channel) when it is sent a movement signal. Maybe the radio being used cannot handle it but it is in theory a very simple concept.

The problem here is that the Tam unit bypasses all programming in the radio and goes straight to the receiver from what I understand so in that case this wouldn't work since it relies on a transmitter mix.

Also for the trigger valve you can just use an airline restrictor to control the time when the strut hits the valve.
