Brodhead, not thedrive.I was watching TGWP last night in preparation. Will there be wing walking??

I am about to order some 5" mechanical brakes to replace the old non-working hydraulicunits I have on my bird.they are Hayes wheels and brakes- the old expandertube style. never could get one side to work and the other barely at times.I think I'd rather have both sides with some weak brakes than none at all.aboutall I am after is to slow the roll or help with a tighter turn. will haveto change the toe brakes/rudder pedals over from the Cessna type vertical mastercylinders to some type of pull arm for the cables. I think I might as wellincorporate it on the pedals instead of trying to cram some type of heel actuatorsin the GN-1. not sure there is really room for those anyway.but if anybodyhas a better mousetrap I'd like to hear it.I was even told it might be do-ableto install a pair of levers on the stick. I could see mounting one but twomight be interesting.
