Brakes are 65mm JP from Falcon Hobbies here in the USA. Used a 40 or 45mm matching front tire to keep AOA correct.
I just posted pics of brake setup yesterday on rcgroups A10 thread.

Nice landing...I like the way the brakes work, really nice. The whistles sound great too.
gee, 100 flights is a lot of time in the air with this bird, maybe one day you'll master it!! LOL (its obvious you're very comfortable flying this model - great job!)
Have you had any problem with the nose gear pin yet?Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.
