The wheel brake on my ASW 17 will stop the wheel turning if operated in the workshop, very useful, pity it does not retard the glider at all on the ground run, not that I would want it to as with no nose wheel an effective brake is not a good idea. A friend of mine fitted his ASW 17 with a Cessna wheel and disk brake. It was very effective, and did not put the glider on it's nose. If I needed to use the brake hard enough to put a glider on it's nose, I'd gladly trade a scratched nose for running into something hard or expensive! -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
