Sticky left brake problem solved

Bugsy

Well Known Member
Ever since flying I have had a sticky left brake, pulling me constantly left and making my tap the right brake. Very annoying on rollout, especially in a crosswind.

Solved it last week by replacing the U-403 brake mount flange on the left side. The guy from Grove brakes at Oshkosh told me that sometime the machining of the U-403 isn't always squared up and causes the disk to run off center of the brake pads. Rep,ace the flange and you solve the problem. Boy was he right

It is a new plane easier to taxi now.
