I am involved with building an AcroDuster Too and we are up to the part where we have to install the brake Pedals and cylinders. In looking over the plans the design seems to be suspect in that the brake cylinder and brake combination match the manufactures recommendations EXCEPT that they recommend a 2 or 2.5 to 1 mechanical advantage for the pedal to master cylinder activation. The A/D Too design seems to have only a 1 to 1 mechanical advantage.
Can someone who has flown the duster tell me if they have any problems with the brakes. That is, are they adequate or do you wish you had more stopping power? If we need to modify the design now is the time.
