KR> O'brien brakes?

[Jeff Scott]

?

My hangar mate is also using the O'brien brakes on his Sonex with the same tiny 
tires used on most KRs.? His Sonex is set up using the RV-7 rudder and brake 
pedals with Matco master cylinders, so has individual left/right braking.? He's 
been pretty happy with the brakes after 5+ years of regular fliying with them.? 
I've looked them over pretty closely and didn't see any issues other than I'm 
not a fan of the small axles, but on a light weight plane like the Sonex and KR 
that's usually not a problem.

They seem to work fine on the Sonex (about 650 lbs.) that I bought a few years 
ago. Of course, it lands a bit slower than the KR2. However, I would prefer 
Matco which is what was installed on the Pig. But I?m not going to the effort 
and expense of changing them out.

I have a pair of O'brien wheels and axels so I'm probably going to use their 
brakes.  Down side is 1,200 lb max gross.  So, I'd like feedback as well.
