(cjpilot710@aol.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:06:59 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Brake Line Purge valve From: Philip Nicholson Good afternoon, after opening the "brake line purge valve" on my pre-fligh inspection, the valve would not re-seat and continued to leak air. This created issues, as after taxing, I had little pressure left to get the gear up (the gear and main pressure came up fairly quickly in flight). Afterwards, we disconnected the airlines and removed the blue bottle. Cleaned/flushed it all up, checked it with air, and it still leaked. On dis-assembly, it appears that the valve seat and mating parts are corroded. Air also appears to be leaking, albeit less, out the valve opener (dial). So, are there replacement parts or mods available? Thanks, Phil Nicholson CJ6A C-FEPN ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:43:15 PM PST US From: cjpilot710@aol.com Subject: Yak-List: Bad bad bad week end! Besides losing Jim Leeward this week end, the Trojan Horsemen (T-28) lost a guy at a show in VW. Not sure but believe it was Jack "Flash" Mangan. No details. Say some quite words to the Great One up stairs.
