Count me on the list too, please! Club procedure. To do this I need some stainless steel tube with 0.375" outside diameter, 0.3125" inside diameter (a sliding fit for an AN5 bolt). about 6" of it. Do
John, That is true. It was just today I was thinking the same problem. I filled the cylinder last spring and now after about 50 hrs flight time /100 landings my brakes are almost gone. As you well kn
Bob, adding brake fluid is actually no problem. It takes let is say 30 minutes and I use vet syringe or just a bottle with hose. The point is: it is frustrating and ugly task to do regularly again an
Bob, that (temperature) is probably a significant factor in this game. On Tuesday temp was around 10C and I had brakes but on Wednesday temp was 0C and brakes were almost gone. An external reservoir
Bob, why did you plan to instal reservoir to the firewall? What about a simple solution to instal it just straight to the fill hole just top of the master cylinder AND and top of the tunnel? It is vi
Bob, next time I visit my plane I will make some location checks for the reservoir tank. As you assume if located top of the tunnel it may prevent the erconomic use of the brake lever (or not). Anywa
Jim, the reservoir in the cockpit is much easier to fill full and keep it also full. If it is transparent you will easily notice the level and fill again. Anyway - you are right. No-return-valve make
Tim, I think valve is not necessary if you keep the reservoir always full-filled. And it is easy to keep it so (much easier like cylinder). Adding no-return valve is a 2nd level to enhance brake syst
Hi Michel, I have you some info: 1) During test flight phase #1 (2007) I unfired the engine and trimmed 70 knots and saw -700 feet /min in the variometer. Glide ratio was 700 feet /min : 70 knots = 3
Bob, I am going to the permanently installed refilling bottle. That will be semiplastic, semitransparent and equipped with an easily openable cap. The bottle will be aesthetical and the crown of RT`s
Bob, when ready you will see. That will be during future winter flying delay. Installing on the stick? That would be absolutely erconomical (HOTAS braking) but could there be some risks lurking??? I
Dear Kingsley, As I wrote that position is "absolutely erconomical " and gives a good possibility to Hands On Throttle And Stick. My point was only technical not physisical as follows: I see always e
Remi, just curious: why did you replace the engine (914T) and went to 912S ? Hi Rowland and all, In my opinion, EGT indication on any Rotax engine is useless. EGT indication is extremely sensitive to

Karl, I checked today Cessna 182 P Skyline=B4s 1976 POH and there on the page 4-5 they say (check list before take off): " doors and windows must be closed and locked". Otherwise there would be no re
