Listees:
I did not have a parking brake on our 601 HDS and, always operating
from airfields, hardly ever saw the need for one. I am now installing
the brakes on my 701 and, since it will almost always be operated from
unprepared surfaces, wonder if a parking brake would be a useful
device to have?
Has anyone installed a parking brake, such as the Matco PVPV-1 ($114
from A/C Spruce), on their 701? If so, have you found it useful in
everyday operations?

I installed the Matco PPPV-1 parking brake on my CH701 and like it. Not
much weight and easy to install.
As to its usefulness, I use it at startup and when parked outside during
airport stops, etc. I'm glad I have it.

Then there is the el-cheapo parking brake method I have. I bolted a hook to the firewall and stretch a bungee to it from the two brake pedals.
