Do me a favor and post this for me.
I am not able to post myself as I am not at my home computer for awhile.
Thanks

Question:
I have a 415D without peddles. It
has a foot brake and a parking brake (handle on the panel). I understand
the Coupes with factory pedals had a real hand brake. I would like to
install a "real hand brake" in my Coupe so a handicapped boy who
is learning to fly in my Coupe can brake without using the pedal. If you
are asking "why not just use the parking brake"...good
question. I had it installed for just that purpose but it doesn't have
enough leverage to really stop the plane well...it is really just a parking
brake. If anyone can advise me if this "real hand brake"
mod has been done or can be done, I would be very appreciative.
Also, if it can be done, does anyone have the parts to sell me to do it?
Thanks
