Brilliant work out in Oz Greg! Thanks for the photo. My problem was just to make
sure the vertical clearance would be enough once I have the gear on. At 8'2",
seems I'll be OK.

| Subject: | Brake Fluid Out Top Of Reservoir |
Did a few taxi test runs today before first flight hopefully this Saturday.
When I got her back in the hangar I noticed brake fluid on the belly.
Taking off the top cowl I noticed that brake fluid was coming out the
top of the reservoir vent cap. I assume that I had it too full?
So, how full is full enough where applying the brakes no longer allows
it to seep out the top of the reservoir?
Thanks,
-Sean #40303 (Prepping for first flight)

I think you still had some air trapped in the system somewhere that
forced some fluid back to the reservoir. The expansion was probably due
to the air being heated ..... probably near the brake piston.
It only takes a small bit of oil to look like you lost a gallon ......
I'd bleed the brakes again .... from the bottom. I have a PVC pipe
capped on one end and the other with a female adapter. A plug with a
small hole in the end allows you to fill the pipe, put the plug in and
put some shop air through the hole. Doesn't take much pressure.
Plastic tubing pushed into an undersized hole near the cap on the bottom
feeds the fluid to a fitting screwed into the brake cylinder in place of
the 'pressure relief' fitting.
A barb fitting screwed into the reservoir allows you to capture the
'overflow' and run it into a clean container so you can re-use it. Wait
'till all the bubbles in the line are gone ..... at that point you
should have a 'full' brake system .... at least on that side. ;-)

As an amateur astronomer, I am very familiar with the importance of
preserving night vision (dark adapted). I wouldn't call red light a "myth".
The issue is NOT the color of light, but rather, the intensity. Our eyes see
low intensity red light better than other colors.
The problem today is that everything has gone LED and red LED flashlights
are extremely bright. We had to start a whole new kind of education about
that. With those new LED's you might as well just use white light because
your night vision is destroyed just as easily if that red light is too
bright.

| Subject: | Re: Night Vision |
A lot of info in that article, but I don't think it would help me pick lighting
for my cabin. I also note that the website is St. Louis, Places to See, and the
poster is anonymous. While that doesn't make the info incorrect, it doesn't
give me confidence in the source.
When I was looking at cabin lighting, I contacted a friend who is an ophthalmologist
and long time pilot. He has a fleet of 6 planes; everything from a C150
to a Citation. His recommendation is to use blue light if your primary concern
is seeing things inside the cabin: instruments, maps, etc. Use red if your more
concerned with seeing stuff outside the cabin; other planes, stuff on the ground,
etc.

| Subject: | Rear window installation |
I'm noticing quite a deep flange on the front edge of the rear window (left side)
where I had to build up the cabin cover to fit the door. The choice is to shim
it (with washers per Vans) or lay in a layer or two of glass on the flange
before installing the window. The excess depth is about 3/16" (about a three
washer stack would be needed). Suggestions? Better ideas? Go with the washers
and hope to fill the channel with adhesive? I plan to use the Lord adhesive.
