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.

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.

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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:04:04 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Monowheel master cylinder? From: Robert Borger 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.

From: Robert Borger 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.
