Ron



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!

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)
