KR> Brake bleeding

I used to do brakes (Rosenhaun) from the bottom up but dirty oil and particulates settle to the bottom of the lines - so pumping it right back up through the system doesn't seem the best way to me - besides I always made a mess in the cockpit AND at the bottom as a hose comes off from squeezing

Gee - what am I missing here - I was always taught to fill/bleed aircraft brakes from the bottom up - every aircraft brake assembly I've ever dealt with had the "bleeder/filler" at the very bottom. Rick Human N202RH Houston, Tx RdRacer wrote: "having the bleeder on the top is definitely good

If you bleed the brakes from the bottom up, it won't make any difference where the fill port is located.   Ron --- On Tue, 2/15/11, rdrace...@aol.com wrote: From: rdrace...@aol.com Subject: Re: KR> Matco wheels and brakes To: kr...@mylist.net List-Post:

KR> Matco wheels and brakes

The brake line coming off the bottom should not be a problem, and having the bleeder on the top is definitely good for ensuring all air is out of the system. If you are still worried about the brake line hanging close to the ground, you should be able to use an "L" fitting to connect the

Dan, Bleeding the brakes is so much easier than that. Buy your self a little pump oil can at the local auto parts store and a piece of clear tubing. Fill the can full of hydraulic fluid. Slip one end of the tubing over the end of the oil pump and the other end over the bleeder nipple. (You

Well, I would be even more concerned about having the brake line that close to the pavement. He said that I can turn it horizontal, but I don't think it bleeds well that way, I tried it. My plan for bleeding is to suck the fluid from the reservoir at a high volume, to suck out all the air and

Jonathan, You can do math to calculate whether this engine needs attention or not, but if an engine with this small of an individual cylinder displacement came into my shop, there would be no question in my mind that it would get some attention before leaving. It is possible that it *could* be

I don not think that the KR can be landed full stall as the aoa would have to be about 13 degrees. Hard to do with the tail dragger configuration, Virg On 2/15/2011 6:32 AM, PilotPond wrote: > Could someone remind me what is the ideal angle the airplane should be

Whuuups. Bad math. I knew that didn't look right. 58 is 72.5% of 80, so it's a 27.5% drop. Quick and dirty would tell you that 60 is 25% down, so I shouldn't have even needed a calculator to figure that one out and get closer than I did. Still not stellar. I'd dicker over the condition of

Could someone remind me what is the ideal angle the airplane should be at when on the ground in tail dragger gear configuration? My thinking is that during the landing you get a full stall of the wings which if my limited understand of design is correct; should allow the steerable tail wheel

Yes, I see there is a huge difference. Why can you not just switch the connections. On my set up you are able to put the fittings on either top or bottom. The fluid chamber needs to have the bleeder on top to be able to easily bleed the air out. I like your jack points. I may have to do that on
