Default help with 12x and brakes?

Hi guys,
working on my new 1221 installation for my 12x. I have been a fan of usign my 10X snap roll button for brakes....

Anyone have a way to get a similar setup on the 12X? Or am I now forced into using a slider?

Thanks
Dave

Thanks Rob,
Can you set it to trigger and release though? I thought it acts more as a "Trim" or slider?

Dave
PS the UB looks great, hope to see it at Winamac.

HI all, I"ve been experimenting with the throttle for the brakes, I use 1 point on the throttle curve to give me full or preset brakes ,I use the flight mode to activate the program, which can be set before touch down. The reason for using the throttle is, I don"t have to take my fingers off the sticks at no time. I can also use the slider, if I desire.

Dave,

The "trimmers" can not be set to "momentary", but can be set to "on/off" by adjusting the trim rate to 200 in the system menu.

Your manual provides you with a better explanation of this.
