Default 12X Retract program problem

I have an AR9000 Rx on a Smartfly EQ10. My problem is the gear servo cyclesto gear up momentarily till it bindsas soon as the Rx is powered up. The radio is bound, the throttle failsafes properly. I am using a Behotec gear and brake combo valve and it is programmed to apply brakes with down elevator. Eric

I have rebound with the gear down many times and it does not change. Eric

My guess is that you have an analog servo plugged in on the gear channel. Try plugging in a digital servo and see if the problem goes away.

Countryboy You were absolutely correct. This is my first 2.4 radio and have to learn a few new twists. Thanks Eric

Well, I only learned that there was a problem with 2.4 and analog servos after I booted and promptly flopped the plane on the ground knowing full well the gear switch was in the gear down position.

Here is the thread by whch I learned of the issue.
