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! Dan Reeves RV-7A - starting to wonder how I'm going to get it out of the basement! --------------------------------- Expecting?

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.

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..

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). http://www.romeolima.com/RV3works/Airframe/DSC_1024.jpg Randy Lervold RV-3B ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Reeves To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 6:10 AM Subject: RV-List: Brake Lines along gear legs - front or back?

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Reeves To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 6:10 AM Subject: RV-List: Brake Lines along gear legs - front or back?
