I have limit switches on both ends of my actuator but I use a "spring loaded down", "center off", and "locked up" switch (an early model Cessna flap switch) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8717.JPG.(bottom left of panel) If I'm doing 120+ mph on downwind I will run the brake down a bit on base to start killing some speed and go full down on final. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgdgxVgPNAk Go to 1:45 minutes in to the video to see brake operation. To run the brake up I simply put the switch in the up position and it goes full up till it hits the up limit. Larry Flesner
