Default Matco brake disc vs Cleveland
Since Matco would be half the Clevland price, is there any experience with the Matco parts? any imput would be great.

I replaced my RV10 Cleveland brakes with Matco. George does a great job engineering parts to match the weight of the airplane. I love my new setup and now I can actually abort a takeoff and stop quickly if it ever came up. The Cleveland brakes on the RV10 were way undersized and sloppy.
