Yes, and that makes the glider a lot easier to push around, especially
on soft ground. However, the actual drum is not substantially (if any
at all) larger than that of the 4" wheel, but the larger tire OD
(14.5" vs 11") gives it more leverage over the brake and makes the
brake that much less effective.

Thanks, Bob K.

Sounds like a job for... *The Tillmann Steckner mod!

Which improved the braking in MY glider somewhat, but not enough that
I consider it adequate.
