[rebel-builders] dual brakes
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:38 am
What's wrong with them? I have the stock dual brake set up on my Super
Rebel and they work just fine. I did move the lower mounting points to the
floor as recommended.
As for whether it's worth it I would say it's not real important to have
brakes on the passenger side. I had a Piper Arrow 180 for years without
brakes on the passenger side and I did all my training, practicing solo, and
checkride for my CFI in that plane flying from the right seat. The parking
brake did come in handy while flying from the right. Put a parking brake in
and leave the right seat brakes out if you want. Even without the parking
brake how often are you going to fly solo in the right seat?

Are dual brakes necassary or not worth the extra wieght and work to
install??? I am finishing my moose and don't like the way they work when
coupled together. Work very nicely when pilot side only. Could you guys give
me opions on the pros and cons to going either way... Thanks Dale SR-033
