Wheel brakes
Uncle Fuzzy wrote, On 7/25/2013 5:37 AM:
you know what I think would be awesome? A wheel brake on a German glider that actually worked well. I know, I know, I'm way outside the box here, but it HAS been done. The G103 wheel brake, that highly sophisticated collection of motorcycle and airplane parts stops with authority. just sayin' Schleicher has put Cleveland disc brakes on their gliders since at least 1984, when I got my ASW 20 C, and they work beautifully. Too bad you missed out on "Awesome!" for three decades, but it's not too late to buy one now! -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Feb/2010" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://tinyurl.com/yb3xywl
