I may have missed the post that mentions where to purchase Mil-H-83282
brake fluid. Could someone tell me where I can purchase it?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: RV-List: synthetic brake fluid -- available locally
A couple of years back I studied the spec sheets for Aeroshell
Fluid 30 and Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF and found they are virtually the same
(composition, flash point, viscosities, etc.). I would have to guess
that there are at least 20 RV's/Rockets I know of (mine included) that
have been flying for years without any leaks, drips, flames, etc. using
ATF in the brake lines.
If I were a betting man I'd bet the newer replacements for 5606
are rebranded automatic transmission fluid.
About $6.00/qt at your local Walmart.
Its been known that urine, bottled water, soft drinks will work as
a fluid in hydraulic systems in a pinch, FWIW... IMO opinion these
fluids are superior to 5606, as unfortunately original poster found out
the hard way. O-rings in the system wouldn't last long with these
fluids though.

Thanks to all who contributed ideas about towing an RV8 towbar. Since I already
have a modified Cessna towbar, I may be able to use it for both the 8 and 8A.
If not, I can get another for about $40 from ACS. Thanks again.......

Well, just on the southern side of Sarasota is a neat airport: Venice/Sarasota
- Venice Municipal Airport (VNC).? Neat over the water approach, a short walk
to the beach, and good food on the field...almost perfect.? Enjoy.

I'd like to put in a good word for Agua Dulce Airpark in Santa Clarita, CA.
Coming back to Livermore from Tucson the other day with the Santa Anas full
force and blowing sand socking in the WJF/Lancaster area, L70 was a welcome
fuel stop and rest from the hammering I was about to get from there to home.
Nice place and sheltered from the wind being down in a little valley, at
least for the few moments I was there.

| Subject: | Aero Enhancements? |
Does anyone know if Steve is still in business? The website says under
construction and the telephone numbers are disconnected.
I bought a flat light strip ... like the ultravision kit but without the
raised edges so that it fits under the overlay on my RV-8A consolde lighting up
the reverse engraved writing for the switches. I need to replace it ...
seems to have broken where the wires attach ... not sure if that is just a broken
solder joint (not the naked eye) or more ???
Thanks !!

I will be co-hosting a new aviation radio show in Jacksonville on Saturday
mornings from 9:00 until 10:00 AM Eastern time starting January 5. It
should be a lot of fun. It will be available online. The online link is on
the web site at www.flighttimeradio.com. Feel free to pass this around to
your airplane loving friends and potential advertisers.
