absolute bilge as if it were fact. The FAA would never allow a
production plane to fly if its brakes were so worrisome. Brake
replacement on aircraft is an infrequent occurance...
item like you would check a car. I have had two Diesel pushers with
hydraulic brakes, (one with an air ride to boot) and there has been no
issues, or even pad replacements, with better than 70Kmi on each.

superb. The Alpine uses heavier discs with larger pads than the Zanzi
had. During a test drive of an Alpine I was encouraged to do a
"panic" stop and the coach stopped very quickly with hands off the
wheel in a straight line. We visited the factory and observed that
the chassis were very well built, workmanship on the chassis was great.
