I've had great luck with the Assan gyro from Global Jet Club.

Why would you be running JP brakes on an Electron system? The electron brake are fantastic compare to the JP......

but if you must...the JP are similar....to the electron, in fact electron doesn’t have specific number for their brakes, neither does JP (unlike the motor which has amps and times)

Electron brakes are twice the price of JP ones.....and do the same job just as well.....

Well having run both in multiple jets, I have to disagree.....and I will leave it to that.

I have run both in multiple jets too.....and I have to agree with myself .....ok....granted Electron are a bit better and are more progressive but they are heavier and dont make the size I needed ...but JP have rubbish controllers........hence the query

Hi Folks,
I've installed the Xicoy LG15 in my Viperjet using JP ER-120 retracts. Everything works fine but I'm wondering whether I should remove the magnets for better proportionnal braking?

‘Well if it work fine I wouldn’t touch it, if it’s not proportional then to me it’s not fine and I would removed those magnet, I did on mine when I had them...and frankly it wasn’t a big improvement.
