For those building, who makes the " standard" brakes included in the kit ?

If fitting 29" Airstreaks, is it best to upgrade the system for maximum efficiency ?

If so, what have those who have gone before used to best effect ?

Thanks as always.

I have 29s. The brakes leave a little to be desired but they are adequate. If you are competing in stol comps etc you might want more powerful brakes. But the ones that come in the kit do the job and you don’t have to worry about flipping.

I say install them and see how you like them. I can hold them almost full power with a 914 and my prop in take off

Josh,

How do you think they would perform with the 915is and MT prop ?

I don’t think you’ll find them perform any differently with the 915. I typically can’t hold full power in grass because my locked up tires still pull
