Disc Brakes?

[Houtlepel]

I Think I got it!

It is because the Aquilla is so much faster than the Aerotrike and therefore it has to run at almost double the take off speed of the Aerotrike to get airborne and it is only then that the vibration become evident!

Just kidding about the speed, nothing wrong with Aerotrike, have flown it with Vladimir and I actually liked the aircraft.

HA ha. Dit is eintlik 100% waar wat jy daar se. My Aerotrike het n Stranger 14.8 vierkante meter op, en hy spring in die lug soos niks nie, sal se solo, binne 20m is hy in die lug met net 75% krag. Teen die Aquilla vlerke het die outjie verskriklik baie lift! Ek sal net moet gewoond raak aan die landing. Hy wil net nie afkom nie Sover my opleiding op Aquillas gedoen... Maar dink tog Aerotrike het die Edge

Trap jy jou voorbriek tenminste nadat jy opgestyg het? Miskien n simple vraag, maar ek het dit in die begin nie gedoen nie. Stop baie vibrasies deur dit te doen.

Is dit n 503 of n 582, dit klink asof jy be seevlak is, dan sal die 582 n overkill wees!

503 met n P-prop op. Ek weeg ook nie swaar nie - 82kg.

Hey all,
Thanks for all the input!
Could all the people who have disc brakes on their Aeries please post pics and tell me what sort of brakes they are?
Would be appreciated!

I must have a really fast aerotrike because I also have a problem with vibration.

Its past of the post-take off check to touch the brake and stop the front wheel. The rear wheels only really become a problem in cruize, and i am sure the wheel pods make it worse. I have often thought all it would need is some slight resistance on the tire. Was thinking of putting brush brissles around the gap that the wheel fits through. This would offer enough restance to stop the wheeel freewheeling, not enough restance to hamper normal running and the brushes will keep the interior of the pod clean.
