Has anyone else noticed this?
      Yes - that keeps the LED unlit when the gear is up, saving battery and LED life. Use a Y cable to connect the landing gear channel to the blue box. Or if you have an available channel, mix the gear to that and connect to the blue box.

        We might give that a go. I misspoke. The Landing Gear light won't work unless there are landing gear servos plugged into the MFCB Gear OUTPUT slots.

                        Elbee, is that an issued "Pine Tree" air freshener? Is it really "Pine" scented or is it "New Plane Smell"? What is the Cage number so I can get one?

                          Hardway, !! How very observant of you, Sir. It's part of the the Navy's new Hygiene Initiative Package (HIP) where Little Trees 'Pine' is SOP and includes Face, Pits, Parts Soap (FPPS) for longer lasting Odor Suppression in close quarters. Also, works well to minimize those pesky fluctuations during High-G events. Best, LB

                            • I'd say that's the 'bottom' line, wouldn't you?

                                      Thanks Jack. I posted the F-18C Cockpit STL Files over on the Hobby Squawk 3D Printing forum if you have access to a printer. If or when that is the case, let me know if you're going to print anything as I have updated some of the parts. Understand that my prints are simply my interpretation for the Freewing model and are not nearly scale to actual, but those parts look pretty good once painted up and installed. Best, Steve

                                      • Posted this question on the T-33 log. I have just bind the plane to my AR636A and armed the esc. The only channel that works is the flap servo and throttle. All are going through the Blue Box. What am I doing wrong?

                                          I would say check the polarity of the male/male leads from the rx to the blue box.
