Paul,

Thanks for your information. The reason I ask about the nose wheel brake is the concern that there will be eough tire patch area to stop a 55# airframe! I have the Intairco brakes on a TF Cessna 310. Way cool to taxi to the main runway, run the engines up, and have the plane sttting on the tarmac ready to go...goose bumps!

I believe I have this right re: AMA's weight waiver. Any airframe over 55# has to have the waiver to fly under AMA's auspices..insurance, etc. An AMA rep will check the airframe for airworthiness, then check out the pilot on a set of typical (for that airframe) flying manuvers. I am sure the AMA can give you more info on the phone or on their website.

I've got the hots for this plane..always wanted a Bridi Aero Commander and just waiting for one on e-bay...
