I promised some feedback after I digested my first few flights so here is
what I have to offer. Please take it for what it costs you; just the time to
read it. I'm open for clarifications or, as noted below, a good critique.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't use DOT 5, but it is approved by some of
the manufacturers, and I have seen it used successfully on a Long-eze. His
concern was about flammability of MIL-5606, so he switched to DOT 5. As far as
I know, he didn't have any issues, but I've lost tr
After saying be careful I realized I don't know if my cylinders and rakes
use the same fluid...they came with the fuse when I bought it...the brakes
are Tracy Obrien and I think the cylinders are Hegar. I asked both what
fluid to use.

Well this is just great, my. CFI told me to just go down to Sears and get
hydraulic jack oil and use that for brake fluid

Mil-h-83282 is what I used for ground equipment as a maintainer. It is a
synthetic substitute for 5606 and it works great.
Here's what Grove Aircraft thinks about brake fluid alternatives...

Be careful substituting brake fluids. If a system is designed to take
mil-h-5606 you typically can't use commercial aviation hydraulic fluid such
as skydrol and vice versa because it will destroy the seals. If you are
concerned with flammability of 5606, use the new synthetic replacement for
5606
Great story.
Spins are not approved for KR. I would never intentionally try either.

I've never had good results with DOT-5 silicone-based brake fluid in any
ground vehicles. Maybe seals in A/C brake systems are compatible with
it, but in the (one each) motorcycle and car I used it in, the seals
dragged which in turn caused the pads to drag on the disks. Aircraft
brakes are not
