Just got round to reading your e-mail and it night help for you to know the
following.

The black tube supplied by Europa is 6mm, not 1/4 inch. It is this size
because that is the correct size for the master cylinder fitting. The
fittings used at the wheel cylinders are the 1/4 inch (you can get them from
A/C Spruce) and they do seal with the 6mm pipe (but it is easy to pull the
tube out of the fitting).

The 1/4 Nylaflow is very good and is now standard on the finger brake
trigear which uses a different master cylinder with 1/4 connections.

I understand that it is difficult/impossible to get a good seal to the mono
and foot brake trigear master cylinder/s with the 1/4 inch tube.

I didn't like the brake feel with the Nylaflow tubing on my monowheel.
I switched to the steel braided hose and improved the brake force
to the brake noticeably. With the Mono, you need all the brake force
you can muster!

Glen,

I fitted a stick mounted master cylinder to my mono. It is really good and
has all the braking power necessary. One finger is all that is necessary.
I can recommend the stick mounted brake - the only drawback is - no brake
available to the right seat. Not a problem for me really, I don't trust
many people with my aircraft anyway.

regards,

Mike.

Hey Mike!
I also have a stick mounted brake lever with a cable going to the master
cyl on the
firewall. Maybe I would change over to the way you are doing it. Which
master cyl
and brake handle setup are you using? Thanks!

Glenn

Glen,

Contact M. Bastien at Mdoaircraft(at)aol.com

M. Bastien is French operates from Biarritz I think. His Brake
Caliper/master cylinder is first class, with built in handbrake. I am very
pleased with it. Ivan Shaw flew with the system installed, and he thought
it was excellent. They are not cheap though.

regards,

M Parkin (GJULZ)
