HI:
Have the complete set of 12 Construction Video tapes, by G. Orndorff.
For me, they were invaluable in the construction of my RV6a.
Any one interested, contact me off the list.

Problem: Have a nice RV-7 whose brakes heat up on landing with a no =
brake rollout and braking used only to stop at the hangar. Very hard to =
move by pulling on the prop on level ground for about 10 minutes. Then =
all is well and it rolls freely. Have 88 hours on the airplane and =
brake pads show no abnormal wear. Any suggestions?? =20

Sounds like you might have some air in the brake lines. Try and bleed them and
you want to do this from the bottom up.

Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically
better.

Idea #1 -- may have to add a "return spring" on your master cylinders.
Wonder if there's not enough springback built into the master cylinder.
Heard of that in a few cases, solved with a return spring. Get down in
there by the pedals, push 'em, and see if you need to pull them back for the
master cylinder pushrod to come back out, or if they stay "stuck in."
Both sides or just one side? If it's both sides, I'd be inclined to say
it's gotta be the springback thing.
Idea #2 -- could be gunk between the piston & caliper? If the pedals and
master cylinder pushrods are springing back just fine, then I'd drain the
fluid from the brakes and remove the pistons from the calipers. Could be
that there's some crud in there causing the piston to stick. Probably not,
but worth checking if nothing else pans out.
Just a couple of guesses. Best of luck. See you up at SQI & OSH for
formation?

They are supposed to run at 0 clearance.
Perhaps the linings are a little thicker than
usual. It's not uncommon to add shims between
the anvil and the puck housing. As linings wear
you can remove the shims.

One other possiblity. The bolts that the brake patals pivot on may be to
tight. I know of at least one person who had this problem. They need to be
rather loose, that is why they are locked with cotter pins. Don
