Hi my Friends,
Yesterday we moved our plane to the airport. This was already a beautiful
moment. But also a bit stress full. Wil it all be oke on the trailer. WE arived
safe at the airport. Installed the wings, checked everyting. Did a runup test
so I could starting with the first taxi test.
I selected the parkinbrake before the engine runup test, everything was oke, my
dad jumped in. Released the parking brakes and start rooling.
I needed a lot of power to get from the stand, the plane want to the left so
corrected with the RH brake. Strange and very difficult to stear my KR2, but I
thought I need to learn so I continued. After a few 100 meters it was to hard
to keep her on the track and decited to stop. LH brake was stuck....
I was tired from the hole day so we pulled our plane back to the hangar ...tahs
a long walk with a braking plane.
Did a Qick scan wat probably can be wrong.
Whit a screwdriver I couldnt get the brake pads from the disk. So I think the
problem is in the parking brake, because we did at home a good test work (my
dad inside hits on my command the brake pedals and me pulling the plane) and
that works very good.
After some resurge I heard from a guy to release at the wheel side some brake
flued, than the parking brake valve wil come free and the problem can probably
solved. He told me never use the parking brake with a lot of force. With the
testrun he never used the parking brake and has never have this isue anymore.
Some of you have the same problems?
We have the matco system.
In 2 days I can go to the plane so I can start investigation to my problem.
I have tryed to ad a picture with it.
