Well, I agree with everyone - be safe, know what you are capable of and what YOUR coupe is capcble of..
The "setting of the brakes" which is not locking up th brakes, but - on Goodyears or the earlier expansion barkes will hardly lock up anyway, - has to do with landing at a high speed. The brake drag assures the nose comes down quickly, putting the coupe "tail high" - dumping lift from a negative angle of attack. This of course helps prevent multipal landings when one is too fast. The book suggests it is safe to land the coup at curising speed - maintaining full control due to "dumping lift". Rigging the coupe so the tail sits high, like Fred designed, is really important for safe ground handling after landing roll - especially in gusty cross winds. Fly Safe - Have Fun Harry
