E-Flite retracts have a 3 way y-harness.
Others have a small control box, that depending on the model might also have a sequencer, those take one gear input and run the whole works. What model, what gear? The built in sequencer in the 18 will also do what you want by taking the gear door servos and retracts and running them in a defined sequence. |

As Zeeb mentioned most electric gear come with a controller to operate all gear units from a single channel. They may or may not also have a sequencer to operate gear doors. If not, that would be a good use for your DX18 sequencer. It's been so long since I owned my DX18 I can't be of much help with the details but basically trigger the sequencer with the gear switch/channel and use it to delay the doors opening and closing as desired. You will still need to have a channel(s) to operate the door servo(s) |

Let us know what you have going on specifically
If you need to setup a sequencer I can walk you through that. |

OK, so I decided to take a brake from the brake issue, now I'm having a issue with the elevators, I have both arm lengths set the same, both servo arms zeroed, when I pull full up elevator and hold it, if I ever so slowly start releasing the stick, the left elevator starts moving back down before the right one, moves like a 1/8 inch down before the right starts to move. as I said, using power box cockpit with both plugged into slot B. transmitter is set to one elevator as the power box feeds two servos on the same output from single input. MKS 777 servos, no sub trim in powerbox or transmitter, anybody wanta by a t-1, good grief

Can you swap the servo outputs and see if the problem is with the output or the servo?

HUM? I'll try that later and see what happens. Can I pic your brain minute, was thinking about my electric brake problem. Could it be that the electro magnetic brake needs to convert the signal input to a electric current to activate the magnetic, that's why JP sells a electrical magnetic brake controller, the signal from the receiver is like a radio wave as opposed to electrical current isn't it.

Yes, you need a brake controller, just plugging them into a servo output won't work, and usually a separate battery.

Thanks, after you tubing the JP brakes, I've noticed everyone is using the controller to operate them, Thanks again, I'll let you know about the elevator situation.

can someone tell me if when using spectrum satilite receivers, do all of them have to have that same little code number or what ever that number is on them, or don't that matter. I have four in my jet connected up to a 12120 and sometime when I power up, one don't come on right away and I have no control till that one lights up. all the other three are lit but nothing is happening till that last one decides to light.

Check your wire connectors to the satellites, seen a few loose in the past, wiggle the wire while system on and check for flickering lights. |

So why is it that when I turn the power on and the one receiver isn't lit do I have no controls, thought that if one satilite went out the other three should take over and maintain control. The way it appears now is if I'm flying and that satilite looses signal, I'm not going to have any control

You don't have to rebind when you unplug them lol
Swap the cable with another one and see if the problem follows the cable or just swap in a spare if that's a pain to get to. It needs a certain amount of receivers visible to initialize but if one or two drop out it will keep working till you power it off. |
