This exciting event took place back in September 2013. Thanks go to Ernie Sutter, my more than capable test pilot. Since then I've had the airplane to both coasts and am REALLY loving it. My Legacy is now in pieces...in the midst of a paint job. During the re-assemble I would like to change the brakes. I'm considering two different manufacturers: Grove and Beringer. I have three objectives: Inner gear door clearance in the retracted position, braking performance, and style (show). I currently have upgraded Grove master cylinders and braided stainless lines down to the calipers, and then stock Lancair axles, wheels, brakes and nose wheel. Are there any comments or opinions out there relating to retrofitting either of these manufactures parts to our airplanes? I am the least familiar with the Beringer products and so would love to know if anyone else has used their wheels and brakes on a Legacy and how they fit in the gear wells. THANKS A MILLION !!!!
