   I recently purchased a CJ-6 and  would like to know if anyone come up with a parking brake other than velcro around the brake handle.

                             Thanks , Gary Hagstrom

 Good question, Gary. I've wondered about this for some time, particularly because the Yak 52 has a very simple latch that flips into place to hold the brake lever. So much of the CJ is systemically Russian that I'm surprised the Chinese didn't adopt the Russian brake latch. 

  

 Although somewhat awkward, the Velcro strap works and is cheap. Nevertheless, I'd also like something more sophisticated. ...Blitz

Gary and all,

 I am 90% complete with my parking brake  mod.  Mine is really a dual purpose brake mod.  The first use is as an  emergency no nonsense "lock em up tight, dynamite the brakes, all stop right  NOW, smoke the tires, you'd better have your harness on, braking  system.  The second is for use on the ramp as a parking brake.  If all  goes well I'll have the proto type installed in the CJ6 that I will have at Red  Star this spring.  The idea for my system was born out of the shear  panic of breaking a brake cable or brake handle when navigating through aircraft  (or people) at a airshow.  The ramp parking brake was just a "by-product"  of the main goal which was to make a true "panic button" type system.  No  cost yet, but I am sure that it will be reasonable..........more so than running  into a P51 I  mean!  ;o)          As  Paul Harvey says "stand by for news"!

  

 

Always Yakin,

Probably because their little fingers are not strong enough to flip the lever down when it jams!

Someone on the list mentioned, I believe yesterday, that there is a YAK 52 stick complete with brake handle for sale on ebay. Could you just change over the entire stick?

 I think I'll wait for Doug Sapp's mod, POTUS.   But, thanks, brother.

A clip  to hold the brake handle will do us no good if the cable snaps or the brake  handle fails,  The new mod is totally independent of the cable or the  handle.

  

 POTUS????

 I was hoping that someone might notice brother Steve's new call sign, "POTUS."   As you're no doubt aware, this is the acronym employed by the Secret Service to refer to the President. It is, however, not for me to explain its genesis with respect to my brother. That I'll leave to him at perhaps another time. ...Blitz
