Sid, If it makes you feel any better, I never "conditioned" my Cleveland pads or disks and now have almost 1800 landings on my KR. And probably half the brake pad is still there, and they've never squeaked or squealed, and seem to hold as good as the first taxi tests. I personally wouldn't jeopardize standing the plane on it's nose just to make the brakes happy. You need to get a good feel for the plane during taxi testing without worrying about stuff like that. As Larry often says, "your mileage may vary".
By comparison, I'm ready for my fourth or fiftth set of tyres... Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL mail: N56ML "at" hiwaay.net website: www.N56ML.com
