Somewhere I heard of a Piet that had a socket on the skid that would except a wirebrush. The wires gave good braking on grass and wouldn't throw sparks orruin pavement. I remember that the brush had to be replaced fairly often (ifused on pavement a lot) but the price and availability of "standard" wire brushesat a local hardware store made it viable.Kinda like axe handles for lower wings on old bi-planes.Bill Sayre"Life is a do-it-yourself project!"________________________________________________________________________________
