For a number of years CLEVELAND WHEELS & BRAKES offered standard organic & heavy-duty asbestos brake linings for their wheels and brakes. In January 1988 these two types of brake linings were discontinued and a single, improved brake lining was introduced with improved performance and durability compared to older linings. Different versions are available to fit aircraft models based on their year of construction. Brake linings are sold as pad only or as kits together the required number of rivets. Most light aircraft take 2 linings per wheel. Extra rivets are also available. Please refer to the attached Application Guide for additional information.

Static ports are located on the side of an aircraft and function as small air inlets. Their purpose is to measure static air pressure, also known as barometric pressure. The pressure within the static port is collected and then utilized by the altimeter and the vertical speed indicator (VSI). Different static ports are offered, both certified and non certified (the latter with an intended use in homebuilt/experimental aircraft).

Several offered non certified static ports are briefly described below. For certified static ports plese refer to their separate product presentations.

DYNON AVIONICS AOA/Pitot probes perform two functions: airspeed and angle of attack sensing. These functions require having two pressure ports on the tip of the probe. The normal pitot pressure port is on the front face of the probe and is designed to be insensitive to angle of attack. The second pressure port is located on an angled surface just under the pitot port and is designed to be very sensitive to AOA. They are under-wing mount, L-shaped  probes which can be installed  easily with simple plug-n-play integration with Dynon and Advanced Products.Their installation requires a mounting bracket sold separately. The pressure from each port is delivered via separate air lines to the instrument where they are compared to previously calibrated scenarios specific to the aircraft. Competitively priced, they are offered in Non-Heated and Heated versions. The Heated AOA Pitot includes a nichrome heating element that is regulated by a separate pitot heater controller unit supplied with the pitot. The controller actively monitors a temperature sensor embedded within the pitot head and regulates the power to maintain a constant temperature. This not only conserves energy but additionally prolongs the life of the heater. The controller also outputs a signal that can be wired to a warning light in the cockpit to warn the pilot anytime there is a malfunction or that the pitot is turned off.

AeroControlex ST300-2PT 28V electric heated static port is FAA/PMA approved for use on Embraer ERJ145, Tucano GA Predator, Pilatus PC-9, Shorts SD330, SD360, Rockwell Commander, Bandierante and Westwind aircraft.

The G3 Series Stick Grips by RAY ALLEN COMPANY (RAC) includes four different models: G301, G303, G305 and G307. All feature four individual SPDT momentary contact switches to control one or two axis electric trim. The switches are triggered via a traditonal 4-way "hat" type activator. These switches are high quality with 15 amp Honeywell microswitches for their superior tactile characteristics. The slotted one or two axis faceplates also adds to the very positive switching action. The four trim switches can be wired directly to Ray Allen servos, eliminating the need to wire relays in the trim system when one grip is used. However, if two grips are used, either relays or a switch to transfer the control of trims from one grip to the other will be needed. The hand grip itself is made out of a very strong BASF composite that has excellent UV resistance. The entire grip has a textured finish. The G3 grips are 6.5” (165 mm) tall. All G3 grips feature a momentary contact, SPDT Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch located on the front side of the grip. A black faceplate is included with each grip. Gray and tan faceplates are also available. All Ray Allen  Stick Grips are designed to fit any stick size up to 1 1/8” in diameter with the use of spacers. Three spacers will be included with each grip enabling easy installation on 3/4”, 7/8” and 1” sticks. The stick grips include pre-cut and stripped 26 gage teflon insulated 19 strand wire. A die-cut label sheet with 50 different labels is supplied with all G3 grips. The labels are lexan coated for long service life and fit in their own recesses for a professional appearance.
