Default Air pneumatic retracts air valves question

For those who have used them before?

Which is more reliable, more predictable, and more dependable?

Robart Red Airvalve

vs

Jet Tronic Dual Airvalve?



I have installed the JetTronic valve in a 45 pound warbird, using Sierra Mains and Tailwheel

and the JetTronic valves seem to have issues

when i try to reset, it remains the same

COnsidering getting rid of the JetTronic and going with the Robart air valve that is operated with a servo


what do the experienced guys (or gals) use?

I have always had good luck with Robarts.

Both are quality equipment but the Robart is far easier to get set up and working properly.

The reset on the Jet Tronics valve only sets the throws. If you want the function reversed, you have to reverse channel in transmitter
