I know, I know. BTDT. Has anyone purchased a NEW sailplane lately,
and been happy with the wheel brake? The ONLY glider I've ever flown with a decent (not great, but decent) wheel brake is the LVVSA's G103 Twin Astir. For me, a GREAT brake will REQUIRE moderation on my part to keep from grinding the nose. I'm used to relatively modern motorcycles, that will lock the front wheel with 2 or 3 fingers. I would vastly rather scrape my nose, than hit the barbed wire at the far end of a landout. |
