Can you measure wheel speed somehow? Maybe the new wireless sensors inside the tire can transmit rotational acceleration as well as tell you pressure is low. What does it cost to change out a set of evolution tires?

cheaper? not the evo tires those low profile are expensive as hell and you need a bead breaker to replace them
a car tire shop job, they wont do them if you tell them they are from airplane.

A requirement would be to measure wheel speed. On the bike, we use hall effect sensor and ridged disk. You would need a system on each main to measure rotation speed. If the Cleveland rotor had bumps on the outside surface that would work and I would just mount the pickup to the brake caliper. That would be the starting point.

directional stability could come from a yaw damper circuit or heading gyro output.

Two spare main tires on the shelf might be cheaper.

I was at the airport on this beautiful Fall day and another builder (RV6) asked me about installing an ABS braking system on the Lancair to help with stopping (without creating a flat spot). He reports that even BMW motocycles have anti-skid brakes.

Has anyone given anti-skid (ABS) brakes any consideration in the Lancair? Just curious.
