|
|
We have redesigned the toe brakes of our 601 HDS so that they become
much more effective. Details are shown on the page
http://www.utdallas.edu/~klaus/Airplane/toe_brakes.html
As a result, the plane is easily stopped, and the brakes hold the plane
even under a full power runup. The latter is needed when departing
from a high density altitude airport with relatively short runway.
On the other hand, the change has been so made that it still is impossible
to lock up the wheels on dry pavement.
Happy flying,
Klaus
