I actually filled my system from the caliper up, I’ve also conditioned the brakes taxiing around for 10 minutes. Maybe I need to do it longer. I’m slightly concerned because I have a free catering tail wheel and brakes are my only way to steer

are you judging your brakes on a power brake or are you judging them on taxi. I would be more concerned with taxi and how they work. stopping from lets say 15 or 20mph over holding the plane on a power run. the tail wheel, I'm not a fan of free castering, if you get a bad cross wind on taxi, you will, how do I say it, have a bunch of fun...not![]()

one more thing, if you went too much on a run and try to brake in the pads you might have gone too far and glazed the lining. the only way to take care of that is to take the lining off and flat sand the lining with sand paper on a flat surface. than just put them on and use them. don't taxi and burn again. if you know what I mean. generally when I put new pads on I just do a few stops and lightly apply the brakes while taxi only. hope this helps
