I have just taxied my RV-6A a little bit.  The brakes don't seem to hold very well if I rev. up to, say 1200 or so, and I remembered reading somewhere about seasoning the brakes.  I think I need to do that before I try a real run-up to 1700 - 1800 RPM, otherwise, it will be very hard to hold the plane with the brakes.
Can some one tell me how to do that?  Something about braking while taxiing?  How much, how fast, etc.?

Thanks,

A little research yields the following Cleveland (assuming your brakes are stock) literature attached.
