Just ask for Tony! However, if you ask your question here, many of us might be able to answer if it's technical related.

I was just trying to find the lowest cost main wheels( 3.5 inch wheel) pneumatic brake system for my turbine trainer. So far when I add up the various fittings , valves etc to go with a brake sytem , its not very cost effective versus a complete package from say Trim . The lowest cost alternative seem to be the electric systems from Kavan but I am not sure how good and maintenance free these are. Any comments ? Tks

Lowest cost would be an on/off pneumatic switch operated by a servo. Many people have had this setup work perfect for a very long time. The mini hobbies is around $89.00 there are other alternatives in that price range. I hear the trim setup works but I've never used it. I have one new in the package never used. I'll sell it to you for $40.00 shipped as I'll never use it, but it will get you going. Contact me offline if you're interested.
