Brake valve programming
Having a little trouble programming my Jet tronics brake valve. Programmed as per the instructions:
Step 1 brakes off (mixed off the elevator and turn off with gear up) push button once.
Step 2 full down elevator (max brakes) push button twice.
Step 3 and 4 Now you're supposed to advance the brake to the point where it's just starting to engage and push the button three times. But even as it start pulsing the wheels are pretty much locked up. Then of course you're supposed to press the button four times at max brake...not sure why this step even exists as the valve to fully open and full down elevator. Kind of seems funny that steps 1 and 2 are pretty much to do the same things as step 3 and 4. Any how, any idea how to make these brake more linear? As it is now you've got 80% at the start. Don't want to be smokin' the tires off lol!
Thanks,
Shaun Bell

RE: Brake valve programming
First thing, erase all previous programs by pressing 5 times. Shut off and turn back on...
Now..........Hook up a standard servo to your brake channel. Watch the servo travel and adjust for max travel. Set the travel and then hook up the valve. If you are using a 10x...go to servo monitor (function 75) and see the channel throw limits. Chances are you need to program in more travel .....or less travel.
If you are still having problems...call me.
