Hey all, I ordered a band brake kit for my vmax wooden landing gear. Does anyone have a set up plan used or just some good pics of the brake setup, kit came with a box of bolts and parts, I was hoping not to figure it out on the way and have a plan so I dont ruin parts. Thanks for all help, James

I was wanting to see how its attached to the wooden landing gear, this is the "Kit" in the following pic that Team sent me, I honestly cant make rhyme or reason out of it. 200 bucks for this... thank you for your input, If I could just see a close up pic of a wooden landing gear with a band brake attached that would give me the basic concept, I just cant weld (efficiently ) or I would simply make a bracket and bolt it to the wood near the axle ,anyway thanks Bob.
