Parking Brake

Postby n163yx » Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:45 pm

Has 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.

I added a very small retainer clip to the flap detent bracket. It seems to work in the garage but haven't tested it yet with the engine running (since I'm still building)...

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.
