Now that I am seriously looking at what will be required to install the
Matco parking brake unit and route an actuator cable, I am wondering if
it is worth the time and effort. Pros and cons?

I agree with Larry. Save the weight and hassle. Add another NACA air vent on
the right side of the fuselage instead. You will appreciate and use that *way
more*.

Maybe once in 4 years flying I thought it would be nice. You can add it any t
ime so I suggest you defer until it flies (DTIF) if you are still building.

Recommend it. You may not need to use it much, but when you need it you
really need it.
No need for a actuator cable. Just mount it on the bulkhead between the
panel and firewall at the bottom and in the center. Very easy to plumb and
you just need to reach under the panel to actuate the lever. Simple.

After four years and 410 hours on my RV-7A I can think of maybe two or
three instances when it would have been nice to have have a parking brake -
I'd say forget it - I carry a set of small / lightweight aluminum chocks -
they weren't much work - cost only a few pennies - hardly weigh a thing -
and work every time -
