Just my experience: my experimental amateur-built plane has Cleveland 6" wheels
and brakes that came off of a certified aircraft. I choose to use the
recommended and approved repair and replacement parts for them and I choose to
use MIL-H-5606 aircraft brake fluid in my brake systems and it cos
I bled my airplane brakes this week, why is it so much harder on airplanes than
in cars?
I was going to use DOT 4 for the extra heat protection but my amp said to use
the new 5606 replacement for the improved heat protection that the new stuff
provides.
I removed the bleeder valve and pumpe

If they don't have a mold already you can use the Smith Miniplane canopy or
maybe an RV3 canopy.

I agree that if you keep it in a clean & dry environment, these hydraulic
fluids probably will still perform quite well after 5 or even 10 years on
shelf, especially considering our uses in the experimental world which is
far from heavy duty use of breaks anyways.
By the way, my whole gallon of hy
I've read all the brake fluid communications. There still seems some confusion
that does need clearing up, or mistakes might happen. If you know all, this you
can stop reading and press delete. If not then read on...
There are six (6) different types of brake and hydraulic fluid. Each of them
I have black max brakes on my Ultralight and type1 transmission fluid is
recommended. Been using it for years. No problem and a whole lot cheaper. I
would not use it on certified system.

I am in the group that you buy a gallon can you use it until it's gone. My last
gallon lasted 10 1/2 years. Long as the top is on it and you don't get
moisture or dirt inside it does not go bad. It's just like 100 low lead it
never goes bad. The blue will separate from the fuel but the fuel its
