Default EV5U Brake problem

I cant get my brakes to go the anti skid function. They are full on or full off. I set it up exactly as my other jets that work perfectly and no joy. When I try to program it all is get is a flashing light on the anti skid light. Any suggestions?

Never mind Todd, I just got it resolved. I reprogrammed the unit (EV5U) to the default settings then reprogrammed again with my settings.. all working fine now. Thanks

Does this valve in the proportional mode use alot of air during braking?

It uses more than the UP valves but I like it because it is one unit for everything, gear - brakes - doors. I use a separate air source for the brakes to avoid problems.

So, with a std. size air bottle, you would have enough air to taxi (maybe use the brake twice but full brake) take off and have enough to land, apply brake and then taxi back?

Thanks

cool, thanks

So how well does the prop. control work? Or is it just better to use on/off? I know they use to put restrictors on the exhaust valve of the brake to help control some air. Would that work on this valve?
