He's sold the plane, but I'll have a look at the archival stuff I've go and try to find something. What I didn't say in the earlier post, and I hope is obvious to anyone, is that the performance will be very dependent on the weight of your aircraft.

I have BlackMax Wheels and Brakes fitted to my Drifter

 

This setup works really well

The Black Max wheels that I am familiar with do not handle long term sun exposure too well, as it weakens them.

 

They were fitted to many early ULs in the 80s, and I recall at least one pilot walking back to the hangar with his helmet full of broken Black Max wheel bits. Best to minimize their sun exposure !.....................................................Maj...
