 |
|
Does any one have any idea why my cleveland parking brake does not hold (after I land )and put the brakes on. The brake will hold for few minutes and then slowly release as time goes on. My brake works PERFECT if I put the brakes on when the HR2 is in the hangar and has not flown for some time. It will hold for couple days. There are no leaks and I have pumped 10 gallons of fluid up through the brakes the last year or so. I donot have any loops in the hyd lines that go down. I have taken the brake loose at the wheel and taped on it etc. I have also run the brake lines out of the heat (forward of the firewall) and they come through firewall at bottom corner behind engine mount. Remember they work perfect when the airplane has been in hangar and not flown. What is going on here? Thanks Bill

Check the installation angle. These only fully shut off when the clock position of the arm is in some funky, non intuitive angle. got fo the web site and it will show you the right clock. By no means the only suspect but a good place to start.

How hot do your brakes get? Hot enough to heat the hyd. fluid? Could it
be cooling and contracting and causing the brake release?
