Wheels Brakes English V04/2021 Landing Gear 2021 Ambassadors Bryan Bowen, Bowen Aero LLC After STOL Drag racing for 3 years at the High Sierra Fly-in and Reno air races around the corner, I had to come up with a better braking system. I originally had a Cleveland system and swit- ched to a grove double piston caliper system but still wasn’t happy with the braking power. I turned to Beringer to help me come up with a solution, however nobody had put a Beringer brake system on a Kitfox before. After working closely with the wonderful people at Beringer we developed a parts list that would work on all Kitfox models. The results were amazing. The braking improvement brought STOL #4 back into compe- titive times in the STOL Drags, but more than that it made it an all around better performing off-airport airplane. The big- Mike Goulian, USA gest noticeable difference is the lack of brake fade with the Edge 540 /Extra 330SC Beringer system. You have firm braking all the way to a stop, Air Show Pilot unlike the other systems that fade and leave you pushing the Red Bull Air Race Pilot brake pedal through the firewall trying to stop the airplane. I "I switched to BERINGER couldn’t be happier with the performance of the braking and brakes on my Red Bull Air Race they are the most beautiful wheels ever put on an airplane. Edge 540 and absolutely love them. The BERINGERsystem is much lighter than the Nicolas IVANOFF, Edge 540 legacy system on my plane but the stopping power Air Show Pilot makes all the difference in the world. I simply had to Red Bull Air Race Pilot have the BERINGER brakes on my Extra 330 as well." BERINGER wheel/brake kit for Extra 330 and Extra NG was developped with Nicolas. " I would define the BERINGER brakes in few words: lightness and endurance but espe- cially a higher efficiency and a better feeling Luca Bertossio at braking. Everything is a matter of balance Planeur Jet Swift and BERINGER has found the right one! " Air Show Pilot «I use BERINGER because I fell in love with the feeling on the brake handle when I used it for the first time...BERINGER is just the best feeling, feed- back and performances!» 2021 Catalogue Page 2 Index History BERINGER History - Company Values ..........................................
