When Bob Hartunian commented last week on Matco brakes leaking, I thought I would save his comments in case I needed the advice. Today our EAA Chapter flew to Gooding, home of the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind. We have been flying the students for several years now under the Young Eagles program. After flying six students, I flew one of the teachers and needed extra brakes due to his extra weight. On the next taxi out, I lost the right brake completely and ran off the taxiway. Fortunately, no damage; but a long walk pulling the Pulsar back to the hangar area. Pulled the wheel and got the caliper back in place with very light braking pressure available. Really needed Bob's fix and new pads. Flew home and landed against a 20 knot head wind so no brakes needed. Thanks to you Bob, I knew where to look and now what to do.
