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.

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?

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. ;-) Linn On 6/9/2014 6:42 PM, Sean Stephens wrote: > > 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 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.

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. Jim Berry RV-10 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=424591#424591 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 09:53:34 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Rear window installation From: "bob88" 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.
