The brake

No. Its just pointless. The light aircraft application requires little
more than a parking brake. Actually a go kart brake would be more effective
and lighter and cheaper. The stock Goodyear setup is adequate. The tires are
very hard, for long life, and have a small contact patch, Not much braking
effort before lockup. No way to get much of the energy into the disc.
