Hi Rick
This post you are now answering was made a bit ago, when I was looking for information about what to do in a Xenos, where the plans indicate the brakes are controlled by the same handle that control the spoilers.
Now that I decided for differential toe brakes, and also the Flyboy full swivel tailwheel, I will have the same feet operated brakes (with MATCO master cylinders installed in the pedals) and tailwheel configuration as you.
With the difference that I will install MATCO wheels and discs, with internal calliper brakes.
So I suppose you left the spoilers & brakes handle to control only the spoilers, and you probably made a modification in the dented angle where this handle operates, is that so?
Moreover, since this spoilers handle is situated in the left edge of the cockpit, where the guy in the right seat will not be able to reach, I intend to try and make a dual control of the spoilers, putting a second handle in the symmetrical position in the right edge of the cockpit.
What do you think about this idea?
Thanks
Carlos
