I am an experienced CFI and an RV-8 owner. My -8 has stick, throttle and rudders in the rear cockpit, but no brakes. I have experience instructing from the back as a former T-38 IP. So I might be interested in getting a LODA for instructing in the plane, but even restricting the service to experienced TD pilots, I am wary of not having any brakes in the pit. I doubt the FAA would issue a LODA without rear brakes, anyway.
So... Has anyone come up with a way to add at least a hand brake (like the old Comanches) in the rear cockpit? If so, I'd be quite interested in learning about it.
