Subject: RE: Europa-List: beringer wheel & brake for monowheel
For those who expressed an interest in the Beringer system weight saving, I
asked the UK agent, Brad Goodfellow of Pioneer Aircraft UK (through whom I
have bought a kit) if he could set out the manufacturer's calculations for
the weight saving. I don't have the comparisons to hand that others have
posted on the forum to do a comparison, but the figures that Brad gave me a
nd asked me to post on the forum are as follows (in kg) and Brad was keen t
o emphasise that his experience of Beringer is that they are meticulous in
calculating their weight saving statistics, with a large chunk of the savin
gs here coming from a heavy inner tube which is now redundant:
