'Just wanted to say thanks to all that helped out with our PT-19 Brake Conundrum. We re-rigged the parking brake mechanism and for the first time since I can remember we have differential braking and control over the tailwheel. We may sound crazy for not having figured this out in the past but there...

'Beautiful, thanks for taking the time to post all the pics. This was definitely the problem. We moved the tabs to the outside of the assembly and it worked perfectly. Thanks all.

'When you press on the right brake the left brake also moves forward and vice versa making it impossible to differentially turn the aircraft. Both brakes always apply simultaneously. Is there something crossed? Thanks for any help...'
