RE: Howard Engineering - Kwik Fli III – Build
The Kwik Fli has a Du-Bro nose wheel brake assembly. Remember the procedure STOP in pattern after landing? It was amazing how good pilots in the olden days would screw up their points on the simple ground handling scores. Or a smooth landing pattern and landing. But I guess you all solved that problem! A cable runs from the brake arm, up the nose gear strut through two guide points and then back to the elevator servo. Down elevator activates the brake. I need to add one more guide ½ way up the strut to keep the cable from hanging up on the fuselage gear cutout when the gear is retracted.
To be continued..
