| Subject: | Brake Lines along gear legs - front or back? |
I just put my RV-7A on its gear,,,very exciting!
I was reviewing my preview plans and the brake lines are shown going down the
back of the main gear legs. When I went down to the hanger in my basement the
real plans indicate the lines should go down the front. The revision dates
on the two sets of plans are the same.
I know I should build off the real plans but the preview plans seem to make more
sense. The brake lines would be better protected going down the back side.
What have others done and does it really matter?
Thanks in advance!

I have it in front of the gear leg. The union comes out of the fuselage is
in front of the gear leg. I just run the line straight down. The line is
protected by the fairing.

| Subject: | Re: Navaid AP Manual |
Hey Danny,
Thanks for the response. The only form of manual on the website that I
can find is the basic how to use bit. I am more interested in the setup
and adjustment details, like how can I get the Navaid to realise that
"wings level" is not a 5 degree bank to the right?
Thanks,

I don't have the manual for you, but I do have some advice. I
experienced a similar rocking problem with my Navaid. There is nothing
in the book that will help. I called the Navaid people (very helpful
folks) who had me remove the unit and perform some bench tests and
report the findings to them. At that point they told me to ship it back
to them for repairs (free of charge) and they sent it back within a week
or so, and now it's rock solid.
Bottom line is- call them.

| Subject: | Navaid AP Manual |
As far as centered , I would remove the wingtip and get it adjusted
With the knobs centered using the wing alignment holes to get both
Ailerons true centered, I am not sure if your using the smart coupler
I don't have one, he said he would fax me a new procedure to adjust
The pot as the one in the manual was hard to understand as I needed
To move the crank arm 90 degree's.. I know you're a long way
Away but calling him is your best bet.. he is very helpful..
I have all the manuals but I don't have a way to get them into
A document to email you..
Danny..

Either way will work, choose whichever one leads to a cleaner path to
the firewall and into the cockpit. In my case that meant putting them on
the back of the leg. Just make sure you leave an adequate loop at the
bottom for removing/servicing the caliper, and that the line won't hit
the tire or iside of the wheel pant (chafing damage).

| Subject: | Navaid AP Manual |
Hi Scott,
I initially had some instability as you mentioned with my Navaid. Navaid
people were aware of this condition with some airplane with very light
aileron forces. They recommended a resistor installation at the servo.
This solved my problem.
The manual does have some information on setting the null position of the
gyro. This requires using a digital VOM across some pins on the rear of the
control unit and adjusting a pot.
I will get the manual from the hangar and send you some info.

On HRII N561FS we had this conversation about 8 years ago, Ran them down
the back. In year two of flying we did have an airborne bird strike.
Took the entire left gear flaring off, gone. Not the wheel cover the
fairing only. Since the brake line was on the "back" side of the gear
leg it was untouched. Landing was smooth & the brakes worked. Had it
been on the front & exposed to "incoming", who knows.? ? ? KABONG Do
Not Archive. Just a short story. The RV-12 will have them in the back.
