A requirement would be to measure wheel speed. On the bike, we use hall effect sensor and ridged disk. You would need a system on each main to measure rotation speed. If the Cleveland rotor had bumps on the outside surface that would work and I would just mount the pickup to the brake caliper. That would be the starting point.

directional stability could come from a yaw damper circuit or heading gyro output.

Two spare main tires on the shelf might be cheaper.

I was at the airport on this beautiful Fall day and another builder (RV6) asked me about installing an ABS braking system on the Lancair to help with stopping (without creating a flat spot). He reports that even BMW motocycles have anti-skid brakes.

Has anyone given anti-skid (ABS) brakes any consideration in the Lancair? Just curious.
