I have an RV-9A with Cleveland brakes. Both linings and rotors were new 25 hours ago when I purchased the aircraft.
The pedals are firm (no air in lines) but the brakes are ineffective. Hardly can hold aircraft at full power, and don?t seem capable of locking the wheel on landing (this may be a good thing).
I thought they would ?break-in? , but not there yet.
Any suggestions? Is this common on RVS? Are the linings maybe glazed?
Thanks
