Plastic wear strip for flaps:

I know someone earlier mentioned the most favored type of plastic and
it's source. Does anyone know that one?

I'd give that a big 'yes'. If the pedals are a little tight, then the
master cylinder can't relax enough to clear the port and let the fluid
flow back upstream. I like your solution!

Matt,
One other comment. Be sure that your brake pedals are not the cause
of th
e problem.

If the brake pedal hinge points have been over tightened, the result
will b
e that the

brakes will always drag. I've seen this on several RV's. The solution
is to
pull all

the cotter keys on the brake pedals, loosen the castle nuts until the
joint
s rattle,

and re-install new cotter keys.

The internal spring on the master cylinders aren't very strong, and
any

binding of the peddle joints will result in the master cylinder
plunger not
fully

returning to the relaxed position. This results in brake drag that can
turn
your

disks cherry red... Your plane should taxi on tarmac with as little as
900
RPM's. If

it doesn't, then your brakes are dragging.....

Thanks Linn,

Actually I "borrowed" the idea from Bret Smith:
http://flightinnovations.com/fuselage_3.html

The other thing I did to prevent the rudder pedals from binding on the
bolts at
the pivot point, was to replace the 2 bolts on each pedal with one
long bolt

Fred, That is great information, I just learned that from Tom Berge
this week taking some training in his RV-7a. My bolts on the RV-9a are
too tight. He said, the bolts should spin easily. The bolt is only a
shaft & the cotter key will keep it on. He had this problem on his
RV-6. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Fred, That is great information, I just learned that from Tom Berge
this week taking some training in his RV-7a. My bolts on the RV-9a
are
too tight. He said, the bolts should spin easily. The bolt is
only a
shaft & the cotter key will keep it on. He had this problem on his
RV-6. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Ron, I use the fuzzy side of sticky back Velcro underneath the trailing edge
of the wing skin. 3/4 inch wide I think. Works perfect. You can't see it. My
flaps look as good as day one.
