Aros, Thanks for your response. Those are a nice collection of Snow Camo!
I was able to assign the brakes to my "I" channel on AUX 1. Works great! On the "I" channel, don't have to worry about forgetting to turn them off.
Also, I viewed this video which was very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BxKpnLZJQk John Noonz Airborne RC He explained it pretty good!😎
Again, thanks!

Aros, while I have your attention,
1.) May I ask on the F-16, I've been looking for hits on how to adjust the afterburner so that it not always on. When I throttle up, yes it goes brighter but throttle all the way down it continues to light up slightly. Where do you make this adjustment? On the control box, I went into #12 but it doesn't allow any adjustment??? Well other than turn on/off. I have my throttle in port RO6. Again, using the Spectrum DX8 G2 transmitter.
2.) Who else sells the Y-harness as I'm not able to connect the ESC up as the only place I know is RCJETWERKS which is out of stock... I'm ready to cut out the bullet plugs off the ESC and just go with EC5 connections but not trying that yet.

HaroldAnderson, HSDJETS finally got back to me. They stated and I quote: " HSD changed the design somewhere in the early jets assembled this year. Some go all the way out if you calibrate the throttle with low trim, some don't go out.." I will try that, but now that I got my Y harness made and connected I'm trying to get the motor to come on. Right now my throttle is plugged into R06. (not working, just beeps) I'm going to try port R12 and see what happens. Now by running the receiver into R12, R12 is a pass thru. Therefore you have to connect AUX 06 (left side) to the ESC. (According too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BxKpnLZJQk ) We'll see!😌

The issue with the AB light can’t be worked around if the MFC is programmed wrong. I’ve tried. It don’t matter what the transmitter mix is, the MFC will only respond to the programming with in the MFC. The only way would be to bypass the AB from the MFC and use a signal/power from different source. I think the electronic switch method is the only option.
I don’t know why HSD will allow you to have the Navigation lights set up in a switch but not the AB.

It's definitely an oversight from HSD. They haven't thought out the AB very well IMO. If you're going to have AB as an amenity on the model, make it easily programmable for the customer. Just makes sense.My YouTube RC videos:

Excited. I found out that a local RC club has recently acquired usage of a full scale airfield. It has unlimited unobstructed airspace left or right on the runway (low approaches either way). No major obstructions...Even the trees north of the field are far enough away to not propose any real issues in normal flight. The grass is a bit longer than I was hoping but my contact told me today that the club plans on mowing the grass down 100 feet to the left of the stations and 100 feet to the right of the stations with a commitment to maintain the grass. This makes me super stoked! It may just be what I have been waiting for all along. Open airspace with low approaches for this jet. While it's not perfectly ideal (only a putting green or smooth pavement would be), it may be the best option I have in my region to fly without issue. They have a grass fixing party on the 28th I will likely join. Super excited!
