I am thinking of installing the disc brake retrofit that is available from Wings & Wheels on my LS7, and am looking to know what I might be getting myself in for (level of difficulty, satisfaction with the results, etc.)

Has anyone installed the retrofit on an LS7, or another LS glider that has the rudder pedal-activated brakes? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

I have flown an LS4 that had a disk fitted.

Before the disk it has horrible. You had to stand on the pedals to get noticeable braking, then when you stopped the brake jammed on because it was hot. Made it hard to push off the runway.

After the disk was fitted you got easy to control braking that didn't tip the glider on the nose, didn't overheat, and was generally very pleasant.

I'm not sure what disk/kit it was, but it was in the USA.
