Ron
Just got round to reading your e-mail and it night help for you to know the
following.
The black tube supplied by Europa is 6mm, not 1/4 inch. It is this size
because that is the correct size for the master cylinder fitting. The
fittings used at the wheel cylinders are the 1/4 inch (you can get them from
A/C Spruce) and they do seal with the 6mm pipe (but it is easy to pull the
tube out of the fitting).
The 1/4 Nylaflow is very good and is now standard on the finger brake
trigear which uses a different master cylinder with 1/4 connections.
I understand that it is difficult/impossible to get a good seal to the mono
and foot brake trigear master cylinder/s with the 1/4 inch tube.

I didn't like the brake feel with the Nylaflow tubing on my monowheel.
I switched to the steel braided hose and improved the brake force
to the brake noticeably. With the Mono, you need all the brake force
you can muster!

If you have a photo I'd sure appreciate it. I'm having trouble picturing
what exactly you're slipping the pin into.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff
We have a trio EZ Pilot fitted to Hotel India. Very pleased with it indeed.
Can't speak highly enough of the service - We have a somewhat obscure
(though very good) GPS which has a slightly different data stream than the
normal NEMA standard. We sent our GPS back from the UK and Chuck wrote some
special firmware for us (and even paid the return carriage) - took less than
a week.
The servo they supply is the navaids one. When ours arrived, its quality was
rubbish!!!Ours had a tight point which required quite a bit of 'fettling'
for me to sort. Also, the feedback pot is mounted on a plate which is too
thin meaning that the gear on the feedback pot doesn't mesh tightly and thus
the servo hunts (well it did until I fitted a thicker plate and got rid of
the plastic mounting screws). The endstop screw and those which hold the
output crank arm are also rubbish (so, quite well made really!!) - the
screws are a different thread from the nylocks into which they should engage
if they were long enough!
The Trio head weighs in at about 4oz and comes with a variety of hardware
for mounting and electrical connections.
I'd certainly recommend the unit (though from what I hear, the TruTrack
servo may be of much better quality out of the box - the navaid servo is
fine once you've ironed out the bugs that are shipped with it).
I've not had the chance to see / play with their alt hold (and hydrocarbon
fuel would be long since have ceased to be available by the time the PFA
approved the fitting of the unit).

Glen,
I fitted a stick mounted master cylinder to my mono. It is really good and
has all the braking power necessary. One finger is all that is necessary.
I can recommend the stick mounted brake - the only drawback is - no brake
available to the right seat. Not a problem for me really, I don't trust
many people with my aircraft anyway.
regards,
Mike.

Hi Jeff (and others),
I thought I'd mention that although Trio continues to support the Navaid
servo (which may appeal to those who already have a Navaid Autopilot
installed), they currently ship a much more robust and sophisticated digital
servo which they call the Trio Gold Standard Servo.

Hey Mike!
I also have a stick mounted brake lever with a cable going to the master
cyl on the
firewall. Maybe I would change over to the way you are doing it. Which
master cyl
and brake handle setup are you using? Thanks!

Peter and Bruce,
Thanks for your replys. I'm impressed with the information I've been
able to gather on the EZ pilot and am aware of the new servos. Thinking
very hard about installing the unit, then, later the alt hold.
According to their website, there are some upgrades, in the works, that
will do decents and ascents that can be programmed into the unit. Now
that would be nice. When the 396 says vertical speed profile 500 fpm,
just push a button and the unit takes you down to pattern altitude,
automatically. Oops, I think I just talked myself in to it... ;)
