As mentioned by a couple of people on here, the 1/4" nylaflow tubing has a lot of expansion when under pressure and sacrifices a great deal of brake pressure to tube expansion. I have changed over 6 planes from 1/4" to 3/16" nylaflow tubing with significant improvement in brake function. Those

Dan When you say 11x4.00x5 are you referring to the tyre size that you want to use on the rim? Ik my memory serves me correctly, that is the old "lamb" tyre size. I have a set of those on my grove wheels on my KR project right now. As mentioned as well, the tube size used feeding the brakes makes

Yes, I looked as best I could on their web site, but did not get any answer to my inquiry. I find it very disconcerting to order stuff that you are not familiar with, online. They do look very good and I was surprised that the price was in line with the Matco prices. They did not show an 11 X

Yes, I also suspect the tubing and when I replace these brakes with the Matco's that I just ordered, I am going to replace all the tubing as well with what Matco recommends, so there will be no excuses for them to not be working. I know it is stupid of me to not try to work through this problem

How do you attach something to the end of the axle, that can be used for the attach point for the wheel pant? - Dan I have Matco, I drilled the axle, as per the KR instructions, made a "C" clip to replace the split pin through the

I have decided to ground the Black Bird again, due to the poor braking. Stopping is possible, but using brakes to turn is not, and this is what has made the decision for me. I don't know if it is the weight of the plane, or the way I have the Tracy O'Brian brakes installed. I did not have this
