I know you all are out there; I can hear you breathing.
If we don't have the drawings, perhaps I can 'reverse engineer' one.

We had this discussion a long time ago... I have a set for copy purpose. Will look for drawings too! I am running for a public office ( Lexington Township Trustee) will be very busy till after Nov 8th, 2005, then look out my brain will return to Taylorcraft stuff.

Oh, your magnificant Trusteeshipness!
Will that involve a payraise? Or is it just for the honor? - Mike

Mike, if you are going to build a set I know of a few guys that really need them. I am still looking for a set to copy my self.

So why do people want dual brakes?

When you make and install the RH brakes make a bracket up to lock them so they DON'T WORK too. When you have a "guest" in the right seat you DO NOT want them mashing the brakes at the wrong time. You ESPECIALLY do not want them mashing down on ONE brake. You can make a simple welded clip for each brake that prevents them from working on the passenger side only. I wouldn't consider a Young Eagle flight without disabling the right hand brakes.

Re: Engineering drawings for "strap-on" dual brakes?

So why do people want right side brakes??? In my case it was many years ago when I put my 15 year old son in the left seat and was letting take off and land in my 1000 ft runway at home. (WI 181) It gave me a felling of some control. He did very good as I never really used them while he was flying. Kids learn quick!! At this time I think he is in the 10K hrs and moving from the regional jets to the 717 so it all worked out. Many $$$$ latter.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I was just wondering how your (my?) BD12D project is coming along Tom... Love to see it sometime if I could stop by.

We have a club owned BC12-D also used for flight instruction, having right hand brakes would be comforting. A copy of drawings would be appreciated. Thanks

John - Please remind me in about a month. Forrest is busy going to trusteeshipness training so it will be after T'giving before he's free to look around. If someone has one that I make drawings from, I'll let the world know - Mike
