Jeff, Excellent advice as always. I removed the nyflo tubing from my plane before I finished taxi testing. I replaced with a similar product which the name escapes me right now but I knew I was getting brake fadding from taxi and it was not acceptable. After replacing with the thicker wall tubing it was never an issue again. Joe Horton, N357CJ
No wait I think it's Parker??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Scott" <jscott.pla...@gmx.com> T One other note on the plastic brake lines. The plastic lines do tend to expand a bit under pressure. With the expansion comes a loss of brake pressure. I have fixed a number of brake issues on Experimental planes by swapping out the 1/4" Nyloflow brake lines for 3/16" lines. I noted recently that the Aerion Lightning aircraft are now using 1/8" Nyloflow lines for the brakes to prevent loss of brake pressure due to the tubing expansion under pressure.
