Subject: Pietenpol-List: Do I need brakes?Hi Douwe: The airport I will most likely be flying out of has grassnext to the paved runways, so no brakes and skid probably would havebeen no problem, but the occasional Lear Jet and expensive spam cansmade me decide to use brakes and steerable tail wheel. A minor taxiaccident would have eliminated any thought of retirement sooner thanabout 75 years from now. Leon S.
