The problem with Teflon tape generally is not with the first application.
It is the second that pushes the pieces into your system and plugs small
orifices or prevent the seals in you master cylinder from doing their job.
Can you get lucky? Of course! but why take the chance?

I am trying to get the fluid to stay in the brake syste. (Oh I wish it was
easy as electricity!)
I am now down to one leak but this is not responding to cursing. The fitting
on the low pressure (top) side of one of the master clyinders persists in
weeping. Two questions:
1) I notice in DWG36 dated 7/27/00 the plan indicates I should be using a
brass fitting (F 69-F-04*02). In fact I am using some nylon fittings,
similar to the F271 on the back of the reservoir, and presumably these were
what was supplied but its too long ago to remember. I have no brass parts
left over. Did others get nylon?
2) Anyone had leak problems with these? How to cure. It is very hard to tell
which bit is leaking, probably where the pipe from the reservoir comes in.
Help and moral support needed!
Thanks, Steve.
PS Needless to say every time I go down there I knock the jamjar of brake
fluid over. What fun eh!

Yes, they do. Look in section 5 of your preview plans set. This is also
available in PDF form on Van's website, I believe under "construction FAQ."

The bonding idea was created by a builder (I don't know who) to help him
straight parts. It is not required but if it helps, so be it.

Check my web site. I tried to use epoxy on the rudder but didn't like
the results so before I riveted it I used a head gun to take it apart,
cleaned it, and then dry riveted them by hand using a squeezer and flat
dies ground to the proper angle. When it came time to do the elevators
I created the jig to hold wedge so I could countersink them at the
correct angel and once again hand squeezed them. There are pictures on
my web site, www.repucci.com/bill/baf.html. They came out very
straight, my tech advisor was astonished.
Send me a note, if you have any other questions.

What did you folks do for the aileron trailing edges in terms of using
Pro Seal or epoxy or whatever for finishing your trailing edge riveting?
I noticed the plans do not call for bonding prior to riveting. Your
suggestions are appreciated in advance. Glenn in Arizona -9A 90623,

Where am I supposed to find instructions for installing the wingtip plexi? I
don't see it in the manual and mine did not come with any separate
instructions.
Thanks.

When I got mine, about 4 years ago, there were no instructions for bonding.
Just cautions about keeping them straight. I followed the instructions and
had absolutely no problems. They are all straight and sharp. Very Clean.
Now working on fuselage. Took a year off to finish my pilot's license and
have been doing a fair amont of flying.
