 |
|
Gidday,
I am attempting to set up my new finger brakes, and am wondering whether the Matco finger brakes have an inbuilt "sloppiness" prior to the uptake of the braking? With the standard lever lengths of what I remember is 7", I'm keen to know where the levers penetrate the top of the tunnel, if anyone has a dimension, and what distance aft they come back before braking occurs?

I managed to keep the same setup for the Matco's as with the Jamar
brakes. So, if you follow the build manual for the Jamar brakes, you
should be OK. My system came with a factory slotted plate and mounted on
the outlined position worked very well.
In the "dry" setup, the levers will be able to hit the end of the
slotted plate, but once the brakes are willed with fluid, the "throw" of
the levers decreases substantially.
I can take some measurements if you let me know what you need.
(Now I finished building pretty much, some excuse to fiddle with the
airplane is sometimes welcome. It is a quite strange experience hanging
around there with nothing to do, with all dozens of "ToDo-notes"
exhausted. First flight? Maybe next weekend, if test-pilot and weather
cooperate).
