Hi,
Im using my 18mz in a jet with dual 6014 rxs into a powerbox.The system is setup with a prog mix for the nosewheel steering and the rudder, and also another mix for brakes with elevator(down). both come on with 'down' gear.
The jet has had 30+ flights on it with absolutely no issues. However a strange thing happened today.

On my last flght of the day, after touching down, i went on to apply brakes, but no joy. also couldn't steer the model.

Upon close inspection, I found that the two prog mixes weren't working, even when they are suppose to. I cycled the landing gear, and then they started working again. I was able to replicate the issue just once more after that on the ground. But never again. There was no conclusive evidence on why this happened.

The mixes seem to be working fine now.

I know 120% that there is no other switching influencing the mixes, nor is there any rx lock up.

So what could that be?

Be really good if anyone can share any similar experience on the 18 or any other setup such as the 12z or the 14mz etc.

Unfortunately, it's not something we've seen. If it happens more than once, we'd suspect something in the memory or processor hardware. If it only happens once, we could only chalk it up to being some kind of random glitch that affected the model at that time. No way to tell unless it happens more than once, and can be easily found by a service technician. If you find that it happens when only certain conditions apply, then there's something to go by in locating the particular difficulty.
