Hottshot,
Darn, I almost had myself talked into coming down and getting a set of 29" Airstreaks. Guess I will have to wait.
Patrol guy, I have a 7AC-CONV and I have been trying to upgrade the brakes for quite awhile. The old Van Sickle brakes are totally worthless when I have the 26" Airstreaks on it. They just about hold the plane at 1500 rpm. I am a typical airplane owner....CHEAP.....I can NOT see spending the money Wag Aero wants for their conversion kit. Last I looked it was close to $3,500 and that is not including the labor to install it. I have been looking for several years to gather the parts to do it via 337 but have not been able to acquire all the parts.
I recently purchased an S-7 and just put the Champ on floats so I don't need to worry about brakes. Having flown the S-7 a few hours I decided I don't need both planes so I am going to sell the Champ. Guess that solves my brake issue.
