looking for BVM E-Brake experiences
 
1 Attachment(s)
For those who have actually used BVM's E-Brake V2, what has been your experience with it? Any issues or problems? I noticed it is an option on the Ultra Bandit so I assume it is pretty effective. I'm looking at it as a good way to simplify the brake system and a nice alternative to electric brakes.

Have it on a Bandit and love it. If you get one, remember that you do not use grease on the hubs with this setup. JS

The instructions and the BVM how to video say to lube the hub. We did. maiden flight yesterday. brakes not working. Hum ?

Connect your compressor to each brake unit in order to release the o-ring. Once you have done this they should work very well. I have this set up on a 50 lbs F-18 and It works perfect. Best brake system I have ever used.

Will this system work with other brake mfg like intairco or the skymaster brakes??
Thanks

Dustin told me NOT to lube or else the braking effect will be greatly reduced or no brakes. The pressure developed is lower than our traditional systems, but without lube it's plenty enough to stop the jet without brakes locking up and the familiar swerving back and forth. Also, no lube means less dirt and grime buildup in the hub/wheels. JS
