Pulsar Enthusiasts,
I am in the process of converting my band brakes to hydraulics. I got
the master cylinder installation well along, but haven't purchased a
brake system for the main wheels yet.
Here are the options I am very aware of. First the most popular
Matco WHLW50CC.75 wheel and internal caliper with WHLAXLE7 axle. The
other option I have found which would use my current AZUSA 5" wheels is
the Great Plains brake kit http://www.greatplainsas.com/schbrakes.html
which I don't know of anybody that has used this system. I also called
Tracy Obrien about his C90 brakes which also works with the AZUSA 5"
wheels, but he did not have any in stock and seemed reluctant to commit
to an order.
Outside of the Matco system, is there anybody that has had success
with one of these other or another wheel/hydraulic brake system?
Best regards,
Ron Koval

Ron,
I have flown 800 hours on a 582 with the band brakes and the 5 inch lamb
tires. The tires were cheap($12 each) but lasted less than 6 months. When I
converted to the Jabiru, I changed the tires to Michelin 5X5. I decided I
wanted more stopping power and opted for the Tracy brakes, which were
marginally better but still subject to fade if they got hot. I next tried a set
of
original Matcos that were shipped with the 912 Pulsar. They provided mush
better stopping power, but still, not what I wanted. I talked with Matco,
at Oshkosh, and they had replaced the orignal wheel calibers with larger
ones and recommended I buy those. I did, and they work. I can now do full
power run ups and hold the aircraft with the brakes.
Now, the down side, I am not sure how much additional heat I am generating
when I do those 60 MPH finals, land on the numbers, and make the first tire
off. But, I have been able to leave skid marks, so the brakes are working
great. Excess heat will melt a fiberglass gear leg, not a good thing, so I
try to be very careful with the brakes, but it is nice to know, I can stop
quickly, if needed, and not have brake fade.
One other thing, I try to hold the nose off when applying the brakes, to
avoid undue stress on it.
So my recommendation, Matco. They know the Pulsar and are eager to work
with you and are very helpful. I would not use any other kind. My next plane
will have Matco brakes, in fact, already bought the whole setup, including
tires, from Matco.

Ron:
I've tried the Matco brakes for my 582 powered Pulsar I; but replaced
them with the Great Planes product.
N190AK is a 500 # empty weight tail dragger and these brakes just barely
hold the craft at 6,200 Rpm static.
Stronger brakes, I understand, might cause the nose to pitch over at
maximum static Rpm.
Of the three (3) brake systems I've tried so far , I like these the best.

Okay, original Matcos were much better, not mush, and it is first turn

Subject: | I think your all on drugs! |
I still have the original band brakes and think you all need all this
hydraulic stuff to stop the extra weight of your braking system! I do admit
that at high speed the bands do fade but a good pilot doesn't need to worry
about that, we just land on the numbers and let it roll out and use the
brakes to turn. The bands will hold you at full power when cold but won't
stop you at 70mph, but with over 1,200 hours on the plane the only thing I
really want to change is how the cable hooks to the band. Maybe a lever
that hooks to the band and the cable hooks to the lever.. I'm working on
it.about 2 years now but I'll figure out something. The entire band braking
system weighs about 4lbs total, what does the fluid squirting system weigh?

Ron,

original Matcos that were shipped with the 912 Pulsar. They provided mush
better stopping power, but still, not what I wanted. I talked with Matco, a
t Oshkosh, and they had replaced the orignal wheel calibers with larger one

Now, the down side, I am not sure how much additional heat I am generating
when I do those 60 MPH finals, land on the numbers, and make the first tire
off. But, I have been able to leave skid marks, so the brakes are working
great. Excess heat will melt a fiberglass gear leg, not a good thing, so I
try to be very careful with the brakes, but it is nice to know, I can stop
quickly, if needed, and not have brake fade.
One other thing, I try to hold the nose off when applying the brakes, to av
oid undue stress on it.
So my recommendation, Matco. They know the Pulsar and are eager to work wit
h you and are very helpful. I would not use any other kind. My next plane w
ill have Matco brakes, in fact, already bought the whole setup, including t

Pulsar Enthusiasts,
I am in the process of converting my band brakes to hydraulics. I got the
master cylinder installation well along, but haven't purchased a brake syst
em for the main wheels yet.
Here are the options I am very aware of. First the most popular Matco WHL
W50CC.75 wheel and internal caliper with WHLAXLE7 axle. The other option I
have found which would use my current AZUSA 5" wheels is the Great Plains
brake kit http://www.greatplainsas.com/schbrakes.html which I don't know of
anybody that has used this system. I also called Tracy Obrien about his C
90 brakes which also works with the AZUSA 5" wheels, but he did not have an
y in stock and seemed reluctant to commit to an order.
Outside of the Matco system, is there anybody that has had success with one
of these other or another wheel/hydraulic brake system?
Best regards,
Ron Koval

Subject: | Re: I think your all on drugs! |
All,
In my experience Matco was really great to work with. My XP kit was
purchased in 1996 with a hydraulic Matco kit. When testing after sign off
in 2007 and after a couple of trips down the runway, the brakes literally
fell apart. Pads were disintegrated and the disks were ruined.
I called the Matco owner, George. He explained to me that before he
purchased the company materials used were not well sourced and what ever wa
s
on the shelf was used and delivered to customers. Since that time he tests
materials used and he has a much better product.
Although he was not obligated, he gave me a very good price on upgraded
calipers, disks and pads. They work great and they are wearing quite well
with minimal wear on the pads.
My big problem was getting the air out of the system. In the standard
configuration with the XP, the master cylinders are inverted so you end up
trying to push bubbles down hill. I had to get on my belly under the panel
and disconnect the master cylinders, invert them and then pressure fill the
fluid through the system. It was a job and even then it was not easy.
I recommend Matco.

Oh, and Matco sold me a brake upgrade because the originals were

me easily hold the plane with full power. I ruined two sets of pads in
