Hi Robin: 

 

After numerous failures of the nylaflow at both the brakes (overheating) and at the master cylinders (due to movement), I finally switched to the Aeroquip TFE race quality, steel braid wrapped Teflon lined stuff that other's here in Phoenix are using. It's sold by Summit Racing.

It was a bear opening up the existing conduit in the back of the landing gear struts to accept the larger diameter hose (I soldered a Dremel tool grinding head to welding rod and even then, I had to slice the conduit open) but haven't had a failure since. I wish I had done it when building.

I have well over a 1,000 hours on my brake lines and never had a failure.  When I installed mine I formed a 360 loop before installing the line and I make  sure the loop is out board of the fitting in the caliper. Also, when I land and  I am on roll out, I deploy the flaps to 45% and hold back on the stick  and hold full aleron into the wind ( trying to get all the paddles I can into  the air) When I apply brakes, I first give them a quick stab. I find forming  miniature "S" turns helps slow the plane down. Opening up the hatches on roll  out really slows the plane down.  I guess it works because I get well  over 200 hours on a set of pads.

Thanks Mike, this is just the information I am looking  for.  You might remember I am changing my gear to the Grove set up.   While on this, I am putting the pressure recovery wheel pants on.  I am  looking forward to the results. I have done nothing to improve the speed in  several years and hope this will be significant.  

  

 How is the healing coming? Robin
