Control System
The plane had the cable operated mechanical
brakes on it when I purchased it. These were replaced with Tracy O'Brian
hydraulic brakes. This required adding additional bracing on the rudder
peddles to prevent the welds from breaking. I know of two cases where the
welds broke causing the plane to ground loop.
