Hi all,
My original brake pads lasted 635 flight hours. The second set
(Cleveland 66-106) lasted only 159 hours. I also had to refill the
master cylinder every 20 hours or so to compensate for the rapid pad
wear. I then discovered that the surface of the disc was showing
circular grooves with some embedded steel particles emerging from the
surface. I decided to order a new disk from Europa (142 british pounds
+ VAT) . I flew with the new disk and new pads (Rapco RA66-106) for
the first time yesterday. The attached picture shows the surface of
the new disk after only two full stop landings with moderate braking.
The aspect of the surface is very similar to the old disk one. I do
not expect the new pads to last long with such a rough surface!
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any solution?
