  • Dual-lever or heel/toe setup: Hoses 1 & 2 → Master Cylinder directly to calipers.

Why Choose Black Max for Your Mini-MAX?

Mini-MAX pilots love the simplicity and performance of their aircraft—but braking is one area where an upgrade really shines. Black Max disk brakes make taxiing, takeoffs, and landings smoother and safer, especially on shorter fields or when operating at higher weights.
