Default 12 FGA Gear Sequencing

I just posted this in the radio forum. I think it may however be more appropriate here.

I am running 2 serperate servos and mechanical valves for my gear and doors.

Is there any way to operate this system effectively via just 1 switch?

Id rather not have this on 2 switches.

What are some of you guys doing about this?

Thanks, Peter

Peter,

Try Todd at Dreamworks, he has a new product that should take care of your needs. The valve is: Airpower EV5U 5 Port Multifunction valve.

Godd luck

Peter,

I have a 12FGA and accomplished the sequencing the easy way....I used a Jet Model Products sequencer. Plug and play, no using another channel or mixer. Takes minutes to install and program.

This is what we pay for when buying these radios so why don't you use it? Start with the tips at the Futaba site and work with your radio until you are satisfied. Im using about the same setup and find it useful to use the delay function. The retract can wait up to 3 seconds (if i remember correctly) after the gear doors have opened.
Be careful with the servo slow function since many mechanical systems loose much air if the valves are operated slowly.
Good luck with playing with all the functions in your 12FG.
