> > ..... I have no idea at all how you'd do toe brakes. ....> Hi David,I appreciate your note. I still prefer heel brakes, at least on a tail dragger, so will continue with the path I'm on. At least I will until I've convinced myself it can't be done.I've seen Bill Rewey's Pietenpol - saw it at Oshkosh in '97 and at Brodhead last summer, but I don't remember his brake setup. That's the problem with looking at other airplanes for ideas, I never know the areas that I'm going to need ideas on. He's got a nice plane, and seeing it in '97 convinced me to put a circular cutout in my centersection (Mike Cuy did the same thing).Thanks, Jack________________________________________________________________________________
