John,
I did understand. Again, why do you need differential brakes?
I hangar and fly from airports, and many of my testing actual flight times
are less than the accumulated time required to taxi in and out. Also, when
leaving from a flyin, the queue may be as much as a half hour long. I only
record actual flight time with a stick mounted timer to prevent inflating
actual flight time. Also, this gives me more reliable data from which I can
calculate a more accurate fuel consumption rate.

I am not John, but let me tell you why I need differential brakes. Mine are
not as fancy as John's, ( mine are the mechanical drums, with a homemade
dual bicycle brake levers) but without them I am out in the weeds every
time I want to turn around. I also use them when I am turning corners such
as when I make a 90 degree turn to park inside the hanger. I suppose that I
could do without them if I was operating on a nice pave runway that is wide
enough for spam cans, but I don't. In other words they make my life a lot
easier, and mean that I don't have to get out to turn the plane around.
Perhaps there are those who are skilled enough to manage without them, but
alas, I am just a "brush" pilot. Plus I really don't give a shit how much
they weigh.

I need the differential brakes to help me control the
aircraft on the ground.
Jack, you can legally log flight time from the time you turn
the prop until the time the prop stops after you land.
Start up and shut down are part of that flight.
If you want to log "actual in flight time", that is fine
with me. ;-)
In the event of an engine failure, do you punch the clock
off?
