WE MAKE DISC BRAKES FOR INFINITY, POWRACHUTE, BUCKEYE, DESTINY, GEMINI, CONDOR, SOARING CONCEPTS,  SIX CHUTER, PREDATOR AND MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING TRIKES.  IF YOUR AIRCRAFT IS NOT LISTED AMONG THESE , CALL US TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC AIRCRAFT. OUR DISC BRAKE WORKS EQUALLY WELL ROLLING BACKWARD AS WELL AS FORWARD.   YOU CAN SIT IN YOUR RIG AND REMAIN STATIONARY WHILE YOU RUN UP AT 3500 RPM FOR ENGINE WARM-UP!

 WE ALL KNOW THAT DISC BRAKES PROVIDE MUCH BETTER BRAKING THAN DRUM OR BAND BRAKES.  AND OUR MECHANICAL, CABLE-OPERATED DISC BRAKE KIT FROM SKY’S THE LIMIT WEIGHS ONLY 2.1 POUNDS!

THE ADVANTAGES OUR CABLE-OPERATED BRAKES HAVE OVER  HYDRAULIC BRAKES ARE: (1) HYDRAULIC BRAKES REQUIRE BLEEDING, (2) HYDRAULIC OFFERS ABSOLUTELY NO ADVANTAGE IN BRAKING ABILITY, (3) HYDRAULIC BRAKES WILL LOSE PRESSURE OVER TIME WHEN USED AS A PARKING BRAKE.

 FEATURING BRAKE-LOK™.  LOCK YOUR DISC BRAKE LIKE A PARKING BRAKE, THEREBY KEEPING YOUR RIG STATIONARY WHILE YOU GO ABOUT OTHER CHORES.  THIS SYSTEM CAN BE LOCKED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT ANY HARMFUL EFFECTS.   

OUR STAINLESS STEEL DISC ROTOR IS 7.09 INCHES (180mm) IN DIAMETER.  MOST DRUM BRAKES HAVE A RADIUS OF ONLY 2¼"-2½"  OUR LARGER DISC DIAMETER ACCOUNTS FOR THE EXCELLENT BRAKING, SINCE BRAKE TORQUE IS A FUNCTION ONLY OF RADIUS, COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, AND FORCE APPLIED. SURFACE AREA IS NOT A FACTOR IN BRAKE TORQUE. THE BRAKE PADS IN OUR CALIPERS ARE METAL COMPOSITE.  EXTRA OR REPLACEMENT PADS CAN BE ORDERED.  WHEN YOU ORDER A PAIR OF PADS, JUST MAKE NOTE OF THE BRAND OF CALIPER YOU HAVE: AVID, TEKTRO, SUNTOUR, OR WINZIP.

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT DISC BRAKE KIT COMES WITH  ALL THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR YOUR NEW INSTALLATION.  

 FOR POWRACHUTE: THE VERTICAL GRIP HANDLE ON THE STEERING BAR MUST BE 1” DIAMETER TUBING.  IF YOURS IS NOT, GET A REPLACEMENT STEERING BAR FROM SKY’S THE LIMIT FOR $50 (THIS INCLUDES THE RUBBER HANDGRIP).  ALSO, THE AXLE BOLT MUST BE 8½" LONG (MEASURED FROM UNDER THE HEAD TO THE END OF THE BOLT).  YOU CAN ADD AN 8½" BOLT AND NUT WHEN YOU ORDER YOUR BRAKE.

FOR  SIX CHUTER: YOU MUST HAVE EITHER 1¼" ROUND FORKS AND  ½" DIAMETER AXLE, OR THE OLDER 1" SQUARE FORKS AND 5/8" AXLE. IN BOTH CASES, YOU WILL NEED THE 8-INCH ALUMINUM "SPINNER" RIM FROM AZUSA WITH 1½" LONG AXLE SPACERS.   IF YOU HAVE THE OLD, WIMPY SIX-INCH FRONT WHEEL, YOU CAN GET A CONVERSION KIT TO AN 8-INCH WHEEL HERE.
