Brakes on CH701 and CH6 series
It is understood that to get better braking power on the CH701 and CH6 series, the single piston brake needs to be replaced with a double piston unit. This is not true. To increase brake effectiveness, a modification needs to be done to the brake pedals themselves to increase mechanical brake gain on the brake cylinders. The current brake setup has been done as it is to mitigate brake lockup on landing as much as possible. Please contact Bundu Aviation for details on the brake upgrade.
