My hangar mate is also using the O'brien brakes on his Sonex with the same tiny tires used on most KRs.? His Sonex is set up using the RV-7 rudder and brake pedals with Matco master cylinders, so has individual left/right braking.? He's been pretty happy with the brakes after 5+ years of regular fliying with them.? I've looked them over pretty closely and didn't see any issues other than I'm not a fan of the small axles, but on a light weight plane like the Sonex and KR that's usually not a problem. ? -Jeff Scott ?

They seem to work fine on the Sonex (about 650 lbs.) that I bought a few years ago. Of course, it lands a bit slower than the KR2. However, I would prefer Matco which is what was installed on the Pig. But I?m not going to the effort and expense of changing them out.
