Parking Brake
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:45 pmHas anyone devised a simple, clever, effective, lightweight, easy to use parking brake for side mounted controls of brakes and flaps? I can live without clever.

Search the forum for "Manual parking brake". If you have already made your flap detent bracket this is easy to install, cheap and works excellent.
