CONTRACTING BAND
All single place aircraft (Sprint & Sport) come standard with a nose wheel brake which is foot operated. On asphalt this brake offers marginal stopping power. On grass its minimal at best. Ultralight weight restrictions prevent the factory from supplying a heavier system. The majority of the aircrafts weight is on the rear wheels. Our brake system is simple and very effective. We have supplied Quicksilver owners with quality brake systems since 1982.
Air-Tech brake kits are the contracting band type. Each Band / Drum contact area is 10 sq. in. No other brake system offers this much contact area. This type requires the least amount of “Squeeze” force.
