This one's for Jet-Pack (IPACS) . I'm making an axis control device for the parking brake on the DR400, but when I tested it I got some wierd behaviour. It wouldn't quite go on/off. This same axis control works find on Cessna, Turbo Arrow etc. Is there something special about the DR400? It does have that twist lock action for example?

The DR400 doesn't have a parking brake. That is the issue.
You have to pull the handle to activate the wheel brake. Then you can rotate the lever to latch it in position.
When you assign a button to the parking brake it automatically pulls the brake lever out to the full position, then locks it.
When you assign an axis for the parking brake it probably doesn't work in the DR400.

Great, thanks. Yes I can bind an axis to the wheel brake and the parking brake function applies the twist lock.
