My Libelle 301b #65 has the wheel brake cable attached to the spoiler
handle and is adjusted to activate the brake when pulled to its full
open. *I don't have any pictures, but on mine, the anti-rotation pin
slides into a slot in the bottom of the left gear strut. *If I can
remember correctly, there is a cable guide built into the left strut
also.

any Libelle owners out there have pics of how the wheel assy looks
when it's bolted up to the landing gear tubes? I want to get an idea
of how the brake cable housing terminates and how the anti-rotation
pin assy works.


is the brake actuated by the airbrake pull?


thanks,
Brad


Brakes aren't a great place to suddenly go retro-style ;-)


Craig


you guys are freaking me out!

I'll cut a hole in the bottom of the fuselage and go Fred Flintstone
style!

That will get really noisy at speed. You might want to use that Disc
brake setup Bob K. has instead.
