We all had a great time and the flights each way were quite remarkable. Over 60 miles vis! Many thanks for the Barbie and for looking after us so well.

I would like to have a single brake reservoir that is easier to get to - is it possible to mount a brake reservoir above the two factory stock supplied brake cylinders? Any idea what the size fittings would be for the fill holes in the brake cylinders ? 2. What is the length of the finger brake levers for the factory supplied stock cylinders? 3. Is there somewhere to get a dual cylinder similar to the factory mod that is better quality and maybe cheaper? (I'm asking alot I know.) 4. Any advice on the best parking brake valves to use?

Which means grass and mud get cleaned out and brakes etc inspected more often. In Summer, dried grass and hot brakes can results in a smoke-system.
