Re: I want good brakes

I have owned KZU for 4 years now and this year I hade almost no brakes, so thinking they are adjustable! :tup:
So I turned the little nut with the locking clip on, after removing the clip, and I got brakes, and good once!
It pulls a little wedge out sa you bring the brake shoe closer to the drum.:bravo:
If your lining is worn out, install new lining but be carefull when riviting them into the drum as it is easy warp the drum and when you have a problem.:tdown:
I have reed about the procedure on this website. Search for it and the company what sells the part!:tup:
Parker wants a god buck for there brakes!

Re: I want good brakes

I have stock brakes on mine and they work great. I had heard before I bought a Tcraft I would not have good brakes but couldn't ask for better ones.
I still like what my instructor says though about brakes on an airplane, "most" of the time if you have to use brakes it is from poor planning.
I would be interested in lookin at toe brakes [email protected]

Re: I want good brakes

Marc, right now its getting real hard to get field approvals. Last week I got one on a battery box installation on the firewall of a cessna 180, that I've done many times. I had to do pull tests from every way do can think of, with pictures and you name it. I used data from others that I've done and still had to do all the tests and also write a book. Customers don't like to pay for all the extra time it takes. I think its just this new PMI I've got, time will tell. As far as cable brakes, try landing on a 600 foot strip with big trees on both ends. I used to land on one all the time, at my cabin and everytime was the new adventure. The trees on one end were across a beaver pond so you would take off that way,but landing was a different story, you had to stop before the pond and many a time, I almost went in. I was adjusting those factory brakes almost everyday. Sometimes I thought I was going to put the brake pedals through the floor. I new brakes I have work great and as far as going over, you figure out real soon how much pressure to use. Here is a picture of my master cylinder installation.
