I always do the same thing using the #2 battery, but in this case since we replacedwill replace the controller......it create another problem the voltage of a 2s is too high for the gear electric motor...at least that’s what we are told and I tend to believe it’s truth...
With the Xicoy LG15 Controller.....

‘the DSM10 doesn’t regulated the voltage just a good switch for dual battery’s, I use the same on the mini.....I will try to check the voltage this week....been busy, as it stand I wouldn’t do it without testing with a voltmeter

The stock JP controller does have a regulator that’s why it’s rated for 2cell Lipo. This is also why the cable connecting the JP to your receiver should have the power wire cut and only a signal wire for retracts. It could back feed 2 cell Lipo into your receiver. This might have been changed on later J P stuff.
Xicoy is is a pass through no regulator. Only use 2 cell LIFE and your good.

The output voltage on one of my JP controllers is 7.5 volts with a 2S Lipo on the input. The first mini I had with the LG15 ran the retracts fine with a 2S Lipo, no problems after 26 flights. The second mini I did the same setup and burned up a couple of retract motors until I figured out the 7.5v output of the JP controller. I’m running 2 x 2S LiPos for the receiver/servos, from one of these two batteries I run a line to the LG15 with a small 10 Amp CC regulator set to 7.5v. I do it this way because it don’t want to add another battery. -Tom

Xicoy brake controller
while it did helpwith the locki ng up of the brakes it did not help with one brake being stronger than the other. So the problem i had of stopping in a straight line was still there.
this is why i elected to go with the lg-15. I M in the process of setting it up.
after watching Tom's video of his straight landing
and what he had to say iii am going to try the lg15.

I had to do some playing around with the settings in the LG15 to get it dialed in, if there is interest I'm happy to post my configuration settings to give you a good place to start. - Tom

For anyone interested, here’s the best pic I could get of those Fuel Hose Zip Ties I ordered earlier. This is 4mm fuel line on a barbed fitting, it looks pretty good to me no perceptible pinch point or gap that I can see and I zipped it down as tight as I could get it. These are the 4” zip ties and it looks like the 4mm line is about as small as you would want to go. The 6mm stuff is even better being slightly larger.

I created a new thread on the Jet forum for the setup of the LG15: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...l#post12483892
I figured we were deviating a little too much from the T-1 mini by going too deep into the settings of the LG15 here. Anyway, I posted some pics of my configuration is the Xicoy LG15 thread. I have not yet posted the portion for the gear door sequencing, I'll do that part tomorrow evening, it looks far more intimidating than it really is. -Tom

Flight # mid-60s. Edited from one continuous flight shoot. Not my best landing, but took the points for the Fast and Furious drift. 
Not bad for this being the first time my friend used this camera. I hope you enjoy it.

So my mini T-1 showed up today and wow it is beautiful! The customer service I have received from Dirk is unmatched in the RC business and I'm thrilled by the quality and price point of this jet.
I ordered mine with the PNP option so everything is installed. This is my first time looking at the JP electric retract controller and I'm trying to drop the gear so I can stand it on its legs. Can anyone give me the shortcut on getting the gear down? I have not installed the receiver yet as I still have a lot of work to do. Is there a way to put power on the controller and extend?
Thanks,
Zach

Good call. The leads are combined for both controllers on an XT60 which I don't have. I either need to buy some XT60's or change over to deans since that is what most of my rc stuff is already.

I power my brakes/retracts directly off one of my two receiver batteries. Note, I’m not using the OEM brake/retract controller, I’m running a Xicoy brake/retract controller but you should still be able to power the oem controllers directly from one of your receiver batteries.

If you are using Deans on everything else you can swap out the connector. I switched over from Deans to XT60 on everything about 6 years ago, just found the XT60 connectors easier to solder. If you don’t want to cut the connectors on your new JP controllers you can also make or buy a converter.
