The Tiger has no brakes.
Hmm, interesting. The Tiger Moth I flew the other year had brakes, but perhaps that's 'cause it was Canadian built. It had a brake lever, which when pulled applied the brakes, somewhat evenly. If the rudder pedals were displaced, the braking was proportioned to that side. It seemed to work okay, though I would not want to be relying upon it for directional control during a crosswind landing!
