I’m in dire need of a 610-1 taper shaft hub for a Kinner B5. If any one has any info on where I might locate one, sure would appreciate.
It’s not on a Meyers but…..

Thanks,
Doug

Google it. Hayes brakes. I’ve never seen a manual for just the brakes, but airframe manual gives a wee bit of info.

Taxi and adjust if needed.

Be careful, the manual brakes are grabby as heck. Mine consistently grab in left side no matter what I do.

I’m at OSH and took a look at your beauty. Nice.

I run a OTW so can’t comment on yours but the members here are quite helpful.

I use 30w, was told by OTW guys.

Fly safe!
