Default RE: Drogue Chute


ORIGINAL: jetting

I am fitting a drogue chute to my skymaster F4 and am trying to program a failsafe switch on my 14mz. I would like the release to only work when the flaps are down/wheels down/engine idle. I can get it to work off 1 of these but not all. Any body got any ideas?

Ian.
Do yourself a favor and make a release that is "Y" through your trottle. That way if it should come out in flight and you have any throttle setting above idle it will be set free. We had the safe system on our B-58 and it worked great. Then when you are taxing you can bump the trottle and the chute is gone.
