Ed, I've missed what kind of "brake upgrade" you
did. If the original Van's/Cleveland? brakes didn't have enough energy
absorption "power", what did you replace them with? Are you still using
the stock Van's size wheels and tires or something bigger in dia to allow for
bigger brake disc and pads?
What kind of options do we have for "size" of
brakes?

Hope to see you there next year, Mark.
<snip> Sounds like you are making good progress
(when visitors are not present I was wondering about
your brake size, I am real happy with my brake up-grade, just feels like I
have more authority over where the aircraft goes. I calculated the
ft-lbs of energy required to stop my RV-6A from 60 MPH and decided that the
old brakes were marginal - especially with my somewhat heavier aircraft.
