On an ole low and slow Piete I'm not sure if it makes a lot of difference
between clear silicone or red, but I can tell you from real experience that
when you don't use the red stuff in a fast taxi or landing plane, you're in
for a real sad surprise. During high speed ground testing of controls and
brakes on my Cozy IV, I had the plane to 80 knts and return to stopped on a
5200' runway. The disc brakes put out a lot of heat when you're stopping a
1000 lb airplane on 1/2 of the runway. I managed to "boil-out" the clear
autostore bought brake fluid from the disc brake calipers after the second
run, ergo the brake failed with multiple boiling bubbles in the line.
Luckily got stopped on the grass. The red aircraft grade brake fluid is
higher in viscosity and apparently higher in temp boiling point. Replaced
the clear fluid with aircraft red, haven't boil-out the fluid since.
Good luck, ole Quasi-Piete N-1033B (which just this week got it's niffty
0-235 cranking hope to have flying next month) has motorcycle brake handles
and go-cart sized compression brakes, think they'll hold ok.

Pieters, What is the best brake fluid to use. The aircraft red stuff or
the silicone that is out now. I am using aircraft parts that are now
empty.
Ken again in not so warm Iowa but good for Feb.

Pieters and friends,
Ole Corky hasn't been too idle these winter months. Today I completed
assembley of the major parts following a major overhaul of the Continental
A-65 engine which will power Repiet NX311CC sometime in 05. An engine
mechanic EARNS every nickel he charges.
Corky and Isabelle livin the good life in warm Louisiana
