ALMOST never on landing (unless you have big wheels and you just get tired of rolling on asphalt after landing). They're mainly for run-up, taxing around obstacles etc, so they're rarely if ever used hard. It's a proven idea and the thinness shouldn't effect anything. Stainless should work just fine and as pointed out, won't rust over the years sitting in the hangar. Douwe Time: 07:43:15 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: disc brake material From: "nightmare" ill fabricating the disc. initially used a saw blade but having second thoughts. may be a little too thin for my comfort. probably going with 1/8 thick x 6 or 7 inches but wondering if it makes a difference stainless vs mild. either should work ,right?? -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:44:35 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Cngrats to Dan Helsper From: "oldbird" Congratulations to Dan from Turkey.

Has she flown yet? I can't remember. Douwe ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:19:33 AM PST US From: Michael Perez Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Mike P's plane Thanks Douwe. No, the plane has not flown and it pains me to say so. I have not been able to complete my flight training, have not pursued renting a hangar for and have not done any further work on it. My hopes are to finish training and acquire a hangar next summer. Then at some point soon after, complete final assembly and commence with engine runs, ground tests and...first flight. All in due time. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:06:03 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: disc brake material From: "nightmare" thanks Douwe. I didn't mention it, but part of the problem I was having with the very thin disc was mounting it so that it tracks true. I cant seem to get a little warp out of it. im going to try making a 1inch x 1/8 disc that will sandwich the saw blade to the 4 mointing points to see how that works. with the little warp was concerned it might give a pulsing of the brakes. all part of the fun. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=459235#459235 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:21:45 PM PST US From: "Barry Davis" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: disc brake material If it rusts, it means that you are not flying enough.
