Dubro Products E/Z Brake Aircraft Brake System (1/pkg), DUB3370

Great braking power, light, nice compact design, and easy to install. Installed one on each main gear of 6 pound airplane and with enough servo pressure these brakes can lock up and skid the airplane to a stop. I doubt if the brake would work very well on just the nose gear as there is practically no weight on the nose wheel during a landing roll. Design and functionality exceeded my expectations... just bought a couple more for another model !

It's a bit fiddly to install and adjust, and seems to have limited use, especially on a nose-wheel. If you're going a bit faster than a crawl and apply the nose brake, the plane is likely to tilt over to one side. The way the instructions say to set it up, pulling the spring from behind it tends to lock up too easy, With the spring in front it will gradually tighten but won't lock up completely. I would say it's mostly just something to fiddle with, unless you put two on the main gear.Edit after a several flights: This seems to need readjusting constantly, and my last flight ended in a nose over as I landed and gently increased the brake, the wheel locked up and there was melted plastic in the spring. I have since removed it. This was on a 7 lb. plane but speed while applying the brake was not excessive.

It didn't work for me as expected, when landing an applying the break, the nose gear moves too much around when applying the break and I don't notice a significant stopping power, the plane pretty much stops at the same distance it would stop without it. Then only thing I like about it is that I can apply the break when fully stopped, then apply 3/4 of throttle and the plane will stand still on the runway and then release the break and apply full power and the plane will take off in a shorter distance.

Great for a $15 investment. P
