Jeff,

Braking energy per wheel can be calculate as follows

Kinetic Energy = (.044 x  W x V x V) / N

W = Landing weight in lbs
V = Landing speed in knots
N = Number of wheels with brakes

I had a lot of trouble with the original brakes on my LNC360MKII until I replaced them with "Grove" brakes.  They make all the difference in the world.  I don't know what the IVP has but if it anything like the 360 replacement may be a good solution.  Talk to Grove 1-619-562-1268 and see what they have for the IVP.

Good luck

Ray
