IMPROVED BRAKING EFFECTIVNESS. We
have determined that a single pull
brake handle modulating both main
gear brakes simultaneously is
superior in nearly all situations
to the standard toe brakes.
Materials and drawings are
available for retrofit for all
builders returning their unused
Q2BSW1's & two AN210-1A pullies to
QAC. Current kit shipments
incorporate this modification as
standard.
Development work continues on a
set of retrofittable hydraulic
disc brakes, which may be
available as early as October,
1981. Those builders not ready to
fly before then may wish to wait
and decide whether they wish to
retrofit that system instead.
SINGLE PULL BRAKE HANDLE INSTALLATION
.....
This section replaces the original section on installing the Brake
Pedals (Q2BSW1's) and four inboard pulleys. In place of the individually
controlled toe brakes, a single pull handle has been incorporated on the
left side of the cockpit.
.....
Begin by fabricating BS3 and BS5 from the 0.125" thick Aluminum and
BS4 from 1/4" plywood.
