| Subject: | Re: External Brake Lines - crack |
Yet even Cessna hard lines can have problems. My Cessna 140 brake lines
cracked and leaked at the top of the landing gear strut and had to be
replaced. Of course, this was after over 4000 hours and 53 years of
service, the last two of which were flying off a rough grass field. I do
think that the key is using 5052 tubing rather than 3003 - 5052 has
significantly higher fatigue strength. It is also critical to make good
smooth flares without over flaring.

Subject: RV10-List: Re: External Brake Lines - crack
Kelly,
I beg to differ but in certified aircraft that I am familiar, (Cessna)
flexible lines are used only where absolutely necessary. The
preference by certified aircraft designers is to use hard lines as
much as practicable if only so that there is no life limit on the
line.
This was driven home to me when I stood on the rear door of a C-17 and
looked up at all the hydraulic plumbing. With all those movable parts
and doors, NOT a single flexible line --not even at the actuators.
Where the line required movement, solid lines with mechanical (banjo
style) flexible fluid couplings were used. I took a picture of it but
I have to find it.
I know some Pipers use a short flexible line between their fuel tanks
and the fuselage fuel coupling. However on the Cardinal that; when in
doubt I ask "what would Cessna do" just as with Vans, flexible lines
are kept to a minimum and used only where absolutely necessary.
In the Cardinal fuel system, there are NO flexible lines. In the
Cardinal electro-hydraulic gear system there are only four short
flexible lines at the nose and main gear actuators. In the
retractable gear Cardinal, the brake line in the main gear is a solid
line. A the top of the RG brake line is a solid mechanical swivel
fitting and only on the lower portion by the wheel is a short easily
replaced flexible line used--remember this is a retractable gear
aircraft.
The point in all this is that hard lines ARE the standard in the
certified and military world in most areas and flexible lines are the
exception. Flexible lines are used only where hard lines are
impractical or expensive such as the movable mechanical (banjo type)
fluid connectors.
Just an alternative $0.02.

Given the factory performance spec for 2200 gross, top speed is 211, I'd

Are there official rules somewhere?

Do you have a p/n or spec on the capacitor you used? I'd like
to try to buy the exact correct one to match what you did, or
at least a real similar one.

I used a part described as "Package 1208, 50v X7R 10% .1uF" that I had in my parts
drawer. Just about any .1uf cap will probably due, so don't sweat it too
much. They just have to be small enough to lay flat and not hit the cover when
its all put back together. I got the ones I have from Frys:
http://www.frys.com/product/1782512
Picture shown doesn't match the actual part. Looks like they're in stock and will
ship them.

They had 3 or 4 spots setup with spotters and wouldn't tell us which ones
had them. They did a good job showing pictures of the turn sites and GPS
coordinates. Once we were flying we used the GPS for the track and
referenced the pics to get us over the right landmark. It made it easy.
Having TCAS was great to see exactly where the plane in front and behind
was. I passed an RV7 who was placed between Scott and me. Here is a link

I am stunned at how close you two are when considering ALL the variables. I
assume general piloting skills could make several MPH difference alone. What
that difference percentage wise a third of one percent?
>> Scott averaged 211.91 mph
>> Sean averaged 211.08 mph
Did you guys just go racing or did you tape up the gaps & seams. I assume
flying solo, low fuel and all that?

Since I trained Sean in the RV-10 I would expect about the same results......we
were trying to decide who is the "wingman" while we were up there.
No taping or anything. I flew the same as I do any day I fly. I even had my bags
and tools in the back.
