 |
|
I have a question for CH701 builders:
The photoassembly guides have very little information on the brake system;
where do I find information such as the brake line material spec, suggested
routing and tie downs, fittings, and recommended brake fluid?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

They use Matco brake and wheel assemblies. Surely this is specified in the plans?
The fluid is detailed with the Matco spec sheets, red aviation fluid as used in cessnas etc.
The nylon style brake lines on my model exit the fuselage through a grommet aft of the landing gear box section and have no external support. I dont think the 701 cruises fast enough to need any.

You could call Matco at 801-486-7574 or check their website at www.matcomfg.com. I have talked to them a couple times regarding my 701. They are very friendly and extremely helpful. They've pointed out a few important brake tolerances not specified by ZAC.
