Looks very nice. But you have made these by your self? I Do you have a walk trough on how you did it? Materials, where to buy etc.

I have looked on these brakes. Do you think they are good enough for ground handling and beaking when engine is at idle?
I have a 35 pound Bellanca with ZDZ160.

By far the simplest solution for you is to fit mechanical brakes, like the first inexpensive set suggested, and connect each brake to its own servo, and mix the servo in with rudder, with overall braking effort controlled independently. The cables connecting disk to servo could be the same as supplied (about 10 inches long) or you could easily get longer ones made at your local bike shop.

This would be an elegant and cheap solution. Good luck!
