Special note
: We use E-flite S75 servos to actuate the
retracts on the F-15. Because of this we use two channels
on the DX7 to actuate the retracts, channels 5 and 7.
We set the endpoint adjustments on these channels and
use a program mix with the Gear as the master channel
and Aux 2 as the slave channel. We reverse the Aux 2
channel to be sure it goes in the correct direction. Using
a Y-harness between the nose retract servo and one of
the main gear retract servos will enable you to ensure
correct operation of the retracts.
