FWIW, having flown out in front of these before, the clear air ahead of
it is smooth and going up at a rapid rate. Think of a cold wedge of air
smoothly lifting up the the air in front of it. The air behind the dust
front has the high winds at the surface kicking up the dust, and is also
lifting - but here the rising air is convective-like turbulent. Not to
be flown in... unless the turnpoint is in there. A ballasted
sailplane can easily surf the front, outrun it, or otherwise get out of
it's way. I'm sure an RV could too. Not so sure about the Maule.
Anyway, I'm curious... did anyone who experienced it on the ground
notice any lightning in the dust? That is, lighting separate from any
moisture clouds. Or is just too brutal to be looking around at that point?

Tim,
I was looking at your website and noticed that your original brake line
installation went directly to the caliper. Did that work OK? Why did you
loop around the axle on your Bonaco line install?

Bonoco will have the lines ready made for your make and model. Super
quality with abrasion sleeving over braid. Using them on my 7 and love
them. 50 hours and no apparent wear at all.

Subject: RV10-List: External Brake Lines - crack
Everyone,
I have found a fatigue crack in one of my external brake lines just
outside the fuselage where the aluminium tube curves back to the gear
leg. I noticed my brake fluid down on the left hand side after my
flight and then went to investigate. On my previous flight, I had
inspected the wheel region and pumped up the tires and no leak was
evident... so the final failure must have occurred on my last flight.
I am now planning to replace the solid aluminium tube with flexible
hoses as per Tim's web page. For the last 18 months I have operated
out of a grass airfield that I expect has contributed to the extra
movement in the gear during taxi and landing etc.
Has anyone found any issues with use of flexible brake hoses and if so
what hose type did you use?

My original lines were flex too. I routed them in the loop
because I wasn't thinking clearly and was being an
idiot. It works fine, but with flex, you could just go down
the leg and turn to the caliper. I did it to mimic the
loop with the hard lines....which of course we now
all know aren't holding up well. I've heard from quite
a few folks with breaks in those hard lines, especially
up near the fuselage for some reason.
If you just order the standard bonaco lines you'll be fine.
Don't be an idiot like me.

So you are recommending to forget the axle loop and go direct to the
caliper with the Bonaco flex line? Do you know the length of the
standard bonaco lines? I believe yours were 46" with the loop.
Thank you!

One of my original hard lines broke the other day at the caliper. I
used a local hose shop to fab new flex lines since we were leaving on
a trip and in a hurry. Definitely a weak spot.

Well I truly believe that one reason that Vans has so many solid line issues is
the product they ship. I would never use 301 based lines in anything on an airplane.
So I will order 5052 alum tubing for all my fluid lines I need to make
and will for sure go with Branco flex lines for the lines on the gear legs
and to the calipers.
I have heard to darn many issues with vans tubing provided in the kits, from broken
fuel lines to leaking fuel lines. I do not understand the going cheap on
materials for a kit that has so much relying on it. Like peoples lives.
Just my 2 cents worth

One of my original hard lines broke the other day at the caliper. I used a local
hose shop to fab new flex lines since we were leaving on a trip and in a hurry.
Definitely a weak spot.

Yeah, I don't see the need for a loop if you're using flex.
I don't know the standard length, but I'm sure they're
shorter than mine. You could fabricate something similar
to use as a model, but Bonaco knows the length you'd need
so I'd just have them sell you the standard. I don't
know the measurement on the standard ones.

31 1/2" -3 hose with -4 straight fittings on each end. Like Tim said they know
exactly what you need. Everything fit fine on mine. The two hoses from copilot
master cylinders to reservoir tee fitting were 1" too long but they still worked.
+1 for 5052-O fuel/brake lines. Van's 3003-O is going to be hauled off for scrap
this winter after flying. 5052-O would have broken too...it just takes twice
as long.
Back to wheel pants...oh I love fiberglass. At least the end is near as my pile
of parts is getting real small. Ted Chang's BIG West trip on VAF has really got
me motivated now. Looking forward to some cool fall test flying.

Fellow RVers,
If you feeling like you needed a little inspiration on that RV project, check out
the attached photo. What an awesome shot of a P-51 Mustang leading a flight
of 7 RVs!! Totally cool! Makes me wish my RV-8 was rebuilt. But then, what
doesn't... ;-)
