I don't want to confuse the issue but I think I am the only one
flying with the MATCO 323 compound brake. I have had no heat problems
with the rev A version of the brake. The factory had difficulties
with the original as did Dennis. I have not tried a abort take off
test because I am afraid something could get broken in the process. I
feel like there is plenty of brake available for normal operations. I
just pulled the wheels and checked the brake discs and after 175
hours the brakes still had plenty of material. I am starting to think
that I could have more brake authority by having better master
cylinders. The new toe brake cylinders will probably give a better
brake.
