Dr. Hsu, Sounds like a parking brake cable type end to me.
I'd try doing a search on Amazon for parking brake cables, you might be able to find something there you can adapt. The other option is to potentially solder a new end yourself, I did that for a quick parking brake cable myself for a quick repair one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-gY27LTU2c Rob Schmitt N1852z -----Original Message----- From: KRnet <krnet-boun...@list.krnet.org> On Behalf Of Kevin Stolhammer via KRnet Sent: Monday, March 23, 2020 12:12 AM To: fenghs...@gmail.com; KRnet <krnet@list.krnet.org> Cc: Kevin Stolhammer <kstolham...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: KR> took a flight Try the asuza site On Sun, Mar 22, 2020, 10:03 PM Dr. Feng Hsu via KRnet <krnet@list.krnet.org> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I am new to this group and hope someone can point an easy solution for > my > KR2 landing gear break fixes? > > I bought a KR2 project and now nearly 99% completed and ready to test > fly except the issue of landing gear cable break on the right side: > > It is called the "cable end" used for adjustment of break tightness on > the two front landing wheels (one on each side attached on the wheel > plates with cable going through it).
