Put in about 2 hours tonight. Installed my brakes.I purchased Grove Aircraft wheels and brakes. Got them from AS&S for about$600. If you are not aware of Grove wheels and brakes, they are pretty muchCleveland Clones. Magnesium wheels and machined aluminum dual pistoncalipers and .25" thick steel discs. Overkill for a Piet I guess, but theyare gonna keep my Air Camper stopped while I do full power run-ups from a110hp Corvair!All I need to do now to complete the brake system is run lines from thecalipers to the brake cylinders.... a fairly simple task (nothing's ever"fairly simple" huh?!)Some of you have been asking for recent pics.... sorry. I promise byWednesday I will have them up on my site.... pics of the fuselage combingand brakes.DJ VeghN74DVwww.imagedv.com/aircamperMesa, AZThis email has been scanned for known viruses and made safe for viewing by HalfPrice Hosting, a leading email and web hosting provider.
