Interesting question. A tail-dragger ought to have good differential brakes. They are often the only things keeping you out of the weeds. My brakes have little bent aluminium brackets hinged to the top of the rudder pedals that pull ordinary bicycle cables that run through the floor to the go-cart drum brakes at each wheel. Not very fancy or powerful, but adequate. I ordered a pair of hydraulic pedals, but would have had to give up a couple of inches leg room to install them. I always fly with light shoes, and for max right brake I have to push the left pedal to give a little extra space from the firewall for the right brake pedal to travel. I typically land in 1800 feet without using the brakes...maybe a bit at the end.
