Fellow Mono builders/operators,
Why would you stuff around trying to put a reservoir on the Europa supplied
Master Cylinder (355 gms WITHOUT reservoir or hand brake feature) when you
can spend a fortune and have the attached. (270 gms WITH reservoir and hand
brake feature). Not only that, it fits on the stick and lets you do
something else with your third hand that is needed with the standard Master
Cylinder as supplied.
Cheers
Kingsley

Hi Bud,
I agree with that. I am using a seringe to fill the cylinder and this
works for me. I also found that lifting the tail so that the aircraft is
nose down helps complete the filling. An additional suggestion is to put
a rag under the cylinder to prevent possible brake fluid overflow
dripping on the tyre.

<<<<I hate my original Europa Master Cylinders but they are simple and
light.
Europa supplies a threaded aluminum filler that works like Jim Naylor's.
Open the plug, screw it in and fill the cylinder. If you have a bubble
still in the brake due to it's angle, take out the holding screws and
lean the cylinder to allow that bubble to escape (normally not necessary
for floor mount). This works great for the typical fill when the pads
are wearing thin maintenance operations.>>>>

G'day Rowland,
http://mcylulm.free.fr/doc/pdf/maitre_cyl_a_main.pdf
Mike Parkin advised us about this little gem on the list back in June
this year so I'm not claiming credit for the discovery.
Please note that the email address on the website is incorrect (has a
missing "t"). It should be MDOaircraft@aol.com
Also, the cost of the Master Cylinder only is 232 Euro, not what it says
on the website. Fittings and S.S. braided hose are extras.
Just got mine this last week and it certainly is a nicely made unit.
A prospective purchaser will need to advise:-
a.. the Stick Diameter 25mm or 25.4mm i.e. 1 inch. If 1 inch, the
fitting is reamed out to suit
b.. if you wish to use red Aeroshell 5606 fluid or plain automobile
DOT4 fluid. Needed to install the proper seals.
Hope this helps
Best regards
Kingsley

G'day Kingsley,
I have just sent an e-mail to M. Bastein to begin the purchase process
of one of his
MAITRE CYLINDRE DE FREIN =AB AU MANCHE =BB
along with the necessary fittings and hose to equip a Europa Monowheel.
This is a much tidier solution to the whole Europa Monowheel brake
than any cludged up
reservoir attachment to the existing master cylinder.
I can't wait to see what this jewel is going to co$t me but I'm sure
it will be worth every centi-Euro
when installed and functioning.
Needless to say, further developments will be posted for the
bemusement ( and amusement ) of all.

Mike,
Thanks for pointing us to MDO Aircraft and M. Bastein.
Denis says that it will be at least two weeks to fill the order as he
is waiting for a shipment of
springs. Waiting on parts. I can relate to that.
