Bob,
With regard to fitting the MDO supplied hose to the banjo coupling.
Everything you need to secure the hose to the coupling comes with the
coupling.
Regards,
Mike

Mike,
OK, I see what you have there. Yes, the same banjo parts are available
here on this side of the pond (http://www.anplumbing.com).
I had hoped that what you used was a banjo hose end. Now that I know
what you did, I need to locate a proper female AN flared fitting hose
end to replace the 90 degree hose end provided. Perhaps I can go to
anplumbing.com and find the hose end as they have the banjo, bolt and
washers.
Thanks muchly for your help,
Bob Borger

Hi JR,
I can testify that a wedge in the hand brake slot works well. I have
used one for my plane since I first flew it 8 years ago. Nothing to go
wrong and it is a completely reliable parking brake.
Cheers, John,

Bob It used to be said that you have a tethered wedge to drop into the
space vacated when you apply the brake and this will hold the pressure.

I have a tri gear with finger brakes. I have 2 wedges on a piece of
string. They work great.

For those as slow as I am, I have been cutting rudder cable with everything
but the paper scissors and ended up whacking a cold chisel against a steel
table to cut the stuff, when my infuriating best neighbour said, "why don't
you just visit the local bicycle shop? I bet they cut cable all day long".
They do, and with a neat pair of cutters that do a superb job. I
could kill him.

Hi! Ferg
So what is wrong with a slim cutting disc on a Dremel type tool?

Wrap the cable with tape at the point you want to cut it. Place it on
an anvil, center a sharp cold chisel on the tape and whack it. Done deal!

Has anyone had a static port clog/ice upon a Europa? Did you have an
alternative static valve? What are thoughts on installing an alternative
valve on a XS I plan to fly VFR?

Ron, Just a 30 degree wedge of aluminium or suitable plastic, thick enough
to more or less fill the slot, and about 2 - 2.5 ins long works well, and as
a refinement drill a hole in the fat end and put a large key ring through
it, which stops it going down the slot, if your brake gets that loose (which
of course it shouldn't!), serves to hang it over the brake handle when not
in use, and acts as a loop to put your finger in to pull it out of the slot
when taking off the 'handbrake'

Ron,
Yes, I have an alternate source under the instrument panel where the
static lines enters. Alternate source is the cockpit which I understand
is very good, so it is taken off the static main line coming in with a
'tee' and a short tubing to a shutoff valve sticking down from under
the instrument panel where you can easily reach it.
Never used it.
Cheers,
Tim
