Brad, have you flown a Libelle or spoken with any Libelle owners about
the awesomeness of the Libelle wheel brake?

I've not flown a Libelle, but think the same or a similar brake is on my
Open Cirrus, which is rather heavier than a Libelle.

The brake has two uses:

1. It stops me overrunning the aerotow rope as it comes taut.

2. It makes a faint grating noise during the landing run.
