Hi Michael,
1. You may consider plastic brake lines from Aircraft Spruce.
The gear movement cannot be accommodated by aluminum
tubing. Same problem inside the cockpit with the movement
of the brake pedals.
2. We made a mistake when building our plane with regard
to routing of wires and tubing into the wing. We simply
bundled everything with tie wraps and used safety wire
(three segments per hole) to hold everything
centered within the large holes of the ribs just aft of the spar.
It is great fun to replace a wire or tubing later on. If I had
to do it over again, I would put a thin plastic pipe centered
into those rib holes, held in place by safety wire, and everything
would be routed within that pipe. It would make replacement
of wires or tubing very easy.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Klaus

Michael,
I ran a short hose behind the gear up thru the skin to a bulkhead
fitting, changed to tube and then thru the large rear hole and went
forward along the outside of the last center section rib. The line then
goes across thru the bottom of the center section console and forward to
a point where it changes from aluminum tube to hose at the pedals.

I used a 1/4-inch tube for durability. A typical hose would be high
pressure type 303 with 491 fittings at the gear and at the pedals. Very
durable.

Hi Guys,
Im wondering if anyone has plugged in a small voice recorder for ATC
communications. The latest requirements have ATC providing total taxi
instructions. That guidance has the tower rapidly describing a 7-point
guidance that used to be 2 or 3-points. Its always been required to do
a read-back to ATC in its entirety. Every ATC controller has his own
creatively unique delivery that also complicates the pickup and
read-back. Has anyone found a better way of dealing with this excessive
mental-bandwidth aside from just more practice or a tape recorder?
We need a better idea here,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thanks,

Hi Larry,
If you have trouble copying the long clearance, then keep asking the
controller to repeat it until you get it.
Perhaps they need to speak a little more clearly.

Larry,
What you might try is using your best foreign voice, and ask them to go slower.
Understand, they are here for us not the other way around.
I heard a guy give a talk about this once. They did an IFR cross country and never
opened a map. They had the maps but he just kept asking for guidance and
direction for Comm Freq etc. during the hand offs for the whole trip. His whole
point of his talk was they (ATC) are here for us and if one of them gives
you a hard time, get their name and number.

Larry,
A friend of mine (from Alabama) states that he had no problem when
working with fast talking "Yankee" controllers when he would say, in a
sloooow southern drawl:
"Could ya'll speak a little slower - I'm just a po farm boy from
Alabama"
He also stated that other pilots on the frequency would frequently tell
center they were also from Alabama.
