- Rare Aircraft Ltd is proud to announce the availability of an STC for
the installation of Cleveland brakes on the Waco UPF-7. Our STC
SA02498CH will allow you to install Cleveland wheels and brakes on your
UPF-7. This is clearly the simplest improvement mod you can apply to
your UPF-7...it's literally a bolt on! This installation utilizes the
original UPF-7 master cylinders. The resulting hydraulic relationship
with the Cleveland brake provides the same brake power at the wheel as the
original system...and will not overpower the airplane any more than the
original. The STC also covers YPF, YPF-6, YPF-7, ZPF-6, ZPF-7, and
VPF-7. Phone 507-451-6611. Fax 507-451-1904 or visit
