There was a recent thread (yesterday) on Vans Air force about brake bleeding complete with pictures. Take a look and I think it will answer your questions. John Ciolino RV-8 with 18 hours From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of thomas sargent Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 5:36 PM Subject: RV-List: bleeding brakes? I will soon need to pour some brake fluid into my RV-6A and, I presume, to bleed the brakes. I've never done this on a car, let alone a plane. Can some one direct me to a web page that explains the process? Thanks, -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A final assembly. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:13 AM PST US From: Paul Rice Subject: RE: RV-List: trimming wheel fairing tire opening Its all up to you Tom=2C but I would think that setting the pants up so hig h as to protect them from a flat tire would take away some of their effecti veness. The more tire you can cover=2C the more they will help you go fast . Mine are pretty low=2C and I have damaged them twice. Once from a tire stem malfunction during inflation=2C and once taxiing from a hard surface t o grass=2C the height of the taxiway was just a little high compared to the grass. All I can say is think about where you will be using your plane an d set the pant height accordingly. Paul RV8 Subject: RV-List: trimming wheel fairing tire opening From: sarg314@gmail.com I am concerned that the opening for the tire in my wheel fairings might not be large enough=2C or perhaps I should say high enough. It seems to me th at if your tire goes flat=2C the wheel fairing should be trimmed high enoug h so that the bottom of the fairing doesn't touch the ground. Otherwise the weight of the plane will be on the fairing rather than the tire. Is this an excessive amount of trimming? I'm sure some of you had the expe rience of opening the hangar and finding a flat. How did your fairings com e through the experience and how high do you have them trimmed? Thanks=2C -- Tom Sargent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
