For what it's worth my parking brake works fine...I use it when I park for a while with no tie-downs. I have left it on overnight and it still holds when I start up the next day. Oh Yeah, it takes up room on the panel........about the space of a 25 cent coin ! On Fri, 1/30/09, bbartsey <[email protected]> wrote:

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, January 30, 2009, 4:34 PM I like the handbrake in my coupe because I can let a guy that flies with me taxi the airplane and he has the ability to use the brakes while taxiing, or during runup, or during landing rollout. It also is probably a good feature for the instructor who is checking someone out in the airplane. Bart
