After much flailing about which shall not be documented here, I went back to the double puck brake and spent a couple days trying to bleed the new system. Without much luck. I called Robby at Grove Aircraft and he pointed out that if there were any high

So it's back to bleeding the brakes again. Pull the lines out so there's no high spots and there's an "all up" run to the master cylinder. Connect the bleed contraption and wait.

Button the cowl and tidy things up. Looked out the door (West) and the weather was calm, not many 150's in the pattern. Looks like a great time to go and try it out. Filthy from the elbows to the finger tips so I have to hit the WC and clean myself bef

2010 06 21 - What's this, the 4th or 5th try at getting a seal on the banjo to the brake caliper? Still leaks.

This pic shows the port side of the master cylinder. The red knob is the parking brake. You squeeze the brake lever and turn the knob (top back toward you) and release the lever. This holds the brake on. To release the brake you simply squeeze the bra

2010 03 19 - Checked to see if the new brake banjo hardware would work while completing the Annual Condition Inspection on the Europa. This is a comparison of the original fitting from the brake with the new banjo bolt that's supposed to work. Close, bu

First try was just to bolt the BSPP banjo onto the brake. Needless to say, that was just too simple to work. It wouldn't seat properly in the BSPT brake.

Went home and pulled a brake caliper off my Little Toot project. Brought it out to the hanger and the darn thing fits. So I have ordered a single puck version of the same brake caliper. When it arrives, it will go on and I'll replace the banjo hose end

This pic is a closeup of the starboard side of the master cylinder. The red thing is the screw cap covering the brake fluid reservoir.

Walked down to the corner of the hanger to the next line of hangers where there is a WC. This is what I saw to the Southeast. Not looking good. Went to the WC and cleaned up. Looked even more threatening after the wash. Decided to close up and go hom
