Chris: I was taught brakes: two to three notches (depending how recently they'd been tweaked)on downwind otherwise you could have a bad day...mind you this was on one with the cleveland mod.
Have to disagree with what I beleive is standard RAF procedure here. 25 years of Chippying have taught me NEVER to land with any wheel brake applied - all it does is limit available rudder travel, which can spoil your whole day in a X wind. Land with the brakes off, and if the rudder alone won't hold it straight (unlikely unless it's a VERY strong X-wind OR you've allowed a swing to start), just gently ease back the brake lever with a crooked little-finger. You'll already have full rudder on, so that appropriate wheeel brake will be gently applied as required
Shaggy: don't forget a tug on the ring pull thingy under the front panel to make the oil sprayer go quiet.
Our's (and all others I've flown) don't have that facility. It's 'mags off, throttle wide open' to invoke silence from the front end at the end of the flight.
