Sorry, but you will find that most of the conventional gear KRs flying today have hydraulic disk brakes. I can use them to slow down, when the tail is still up. I cannot see why you would use anything else. If you are concerned about them holding to well, I cannot hold my KR in place with 3200 RPM, so the brakes are not that good. Maybe the Clevelands are, but I would use them any day, over the old cable drum brakes.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2007 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- I would be very nervous about having hydraulic disk brakes on a tail dragger.
