Grove or Cleveland?
As my tagline reads, I'm building a Bearhawk. FINALLY, my QB Fuse kit will be arriving in a few weeks (my delay, not AviPro's. ). Anyway, curious if anyone cares to share an opinion about Grove versus Cleveland brakes/wheels. My first task is to put the fuse up on the gear, and already I'm at an impasse. I did see an earlier Hangar post about Brakes, but only a coupla people chimed in. I'm surprised there isn't much discourse on this.

Jeff, I am really impressed with the Grove products that I have seen.
The Cleavland stuff look sfine as well, but from what I have heard the Grove stuff is superior.
Of course, this is all hearsay aside from actually working with WS on installing the Grove gear on his -8.
Personally, I would go Grove!

Jeff, keep us informed on the Bearhawk. It looks like a great airplane. Like Chad I am using the Clevelands as that is what Van's ships us. I figure it is one less thing for me to have to decide. I have heard good things about the Grove stuff though.
There, that was helpful wasn't it.

I have no experience with Cleveland, but I have a lot of Grove stuff in my 8 and the quality is excellent. Also, I have spent a lot of time talking to Robbie Grove and I think he knows his stuff and it is great to talk directly to the guy who runs the place.
