Any ideas on what could be causing my RV-6A to moan when I depress the right brake? So far new rotors, brake pads, bearings, caliper seals. After all this it seems to have gotten worse.

RV-6A brake noise
- Thread starter Steve Atwood

did you try to bed them in with heat? On my new 10, I did some agressive braking to generate some heat during taxi testing to "bed them in." Ended up with a terrible noise when the brakes were applied. Seems the chemistry of the pads is different from the auto world and they don't like this. I sanded the pad surfaces to get a fresh face and all was well.
Might be worth a try.

noisy brakes
In the automotive world we never install disc brake pads anymore without wiping a coating of CRC Disc Brake Quiet or similar goop on the back of the pads. It is like thin rubber/latex coating. I've had many a squealing chattering noisy brake fixed by this type of coating. Now the brand isn't important but the application is.
Some pad sets even come with a small squeeze tube. black white red blue all colors.
Oh by the way my RV-6A had a chattering right brake no cleaning or tinkering would fix till I went home and got the goop. Done problem solved
Good luck Art
