DOWN and LOCKED is dedicated to rid the airframe of its dependency on air actuators and their support systems. Future improvements from the DOWN and LOCKED team include Speed control for hatch doors, Faster retracts for the JET guys, Stronger motors for the Large Scale Guys, Higher voltage tolerance for the Electric Guys. Flap control, canopy actuation, speed brakes, sound and a USB interface to allow customer setting of critical parameters including delays and sequence of operation. We have had the most requests for our latest invention on the drawing board, the AIRLESS AIR BRAKE CONVERSION due to debut in 2011. It is anti-lock, proportional, and employs an accelerometer feedback to determine the appropriate braking force. It can sense slippery grass to a firm concrete landing surface. And yes it will hold your Model firmly in place while you run up the engine for takeoff. And no you wont have to do anything except plug it into your existing air brake line.
At DOWN and LOCKED we are constantly looking for ways to meet your needs through product improvements and new additions to our line. Please provide feedback with features and new products you would like to see. We welcome your requests and suggestions.
Please see our website for video of some of the conversions we have completed. For questions not answered on our Q&A page do not hesitate to call Mitch at 828-817-0412 for conversion information for your specific gear and Ron at 828-447-8775 for any electronic questions.
