Kolb people,

 

  If anyone is interested, Grove Brake Co, and Matco, too, for that matter, have some useful

brake design suggestions on their websites.  Such things as pedal geometry, Kenetic Energy of

your plane at landing speed, etc.  Here is Grove's page:

  I used their K.E. formula to calculate my MkIII's kentic energy at landing.  Looks like I'm in good shape.

Theoretically, my disc brakes should stop a C-130.  Either that, or I missed a decimal point.   Hmmm?

I use the go kart brakes that Azusa engineering sells.  They stop the plane after a bit and they are good enough to put the nose on the ground which I do to get a full power run up.  They do not cost much, easy to install and seem to work good in all hard surface situations.
