Rebel spring gear weight - brakes

Bob Patterson · Post by **Bob Patterson** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:45 pm

Glad you both have enough brake - I was remembering the ORIGINAL
gold Matco's on FINR. They would not hold the 912 above about 3,000 RPM,
on a good day !!! The later gold Matco's had better brakes - wasn't
sure how old John's were ....

I'm not entirely sure more braking is wise. FOKM has the old Matco gold
colored wheels with the small brakes and I can lift the tail up with
hard braking on pavement. How much more would one really want? Why?

Hi John !

Matco make a silver wheel that has much better braking - only
a bit heavier..... or maybe the silver wheel brakes could be
fitted....

The Rotec engines do look good, especially on a Renegade,
BUT - they are a LOT heavier -- in the 220 - 240 lb range,
vs about 158 for a complete installed 912, with oil & coolant...
I'm with you on the Jabirus - still old air-cooled technology,
and they are also heavier than the 912, for less power...

Maybe on the AULA 5/8" diameter axle ones. They have smaller brake
pads...but I've never used them. Always stepped up to the 3/4 axle and the
normal 3 rivet 66-106 pads. If anyone is playing with Ultralights I have two
sets of the 5/8" diameter axle Matco's here in brand new condition.
