With my Beringer I particularly like having mounted it low on the pilot
=99s control column which allows left hand breaking with right hand on throt

(around 2 bar) than the previous recommended pressure (1,3 bar). For grass s
trips, a higher pressure is not really an issue, but for hard landing surfac

in hand. And maybe it would be profitable to use 2017 alloy with anodizatio
n finish to keep it away from rust. On my aircraft I have found interesting t
o use Silicon Oil (brand AUTOMEC, Dot 5.0) instead of classic brake oils, in
order to chase moisture from the brake pipe and also to protect all gaskets
from wearing to fast. For one year now I find that the caliper has less te
ndancy to grip than with the old sticky (and hygroscopic) brake liquid...
