I just purchased an RV-4. Been flying it a few hours and keeping in mind that I have nothing to compare it to since its my first RV, I dont think the brakes are working as they should.
I have to apply so much pressure for them to work. On run up they barely hold the plane at 1800 rpm for mag check.
When taxing it takes way too much constant pressure to keep going straight with the right brake. I feel that im going to snap the actual pedal off.
Is this normal and i just have to get used to it or is there a way to adjust the effectiveness of them.
Thanks for the help. Im a newbie to the experimental side. I come from a vtail bonanza and a luscombe so this experimental stuff and what parts were used to build is much different. In the bonanza i would just look at the parts manual.
I think per the seller this has matco cleveland brakes. It was built around 2013 so newer version of rv4
Thanks in advance
Here is a pic of the yellow rocket just for kicks
