REFLECTOR: Matco Brake History and Modifications

[Tom]

Good info, thx--it cleared up some misconceptions I had. At 80 hours my 
matco pads looked like they had gone through re-entry (several times). 
They were apparently generating a lot of heat but not much braking. I 
had original set up with no upgrades. I opted for the Cleveland 
conversion as oppossed to the upgrades you mentioned. Bit of overkill, 
but my plane now stops as well as a car and I'm glad I did it. Another 
upside is that I can now change pads without having to jack up plane and 
remove wheel..Tom
