Amphib Brakes
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:16 am
One of my 1800 amphib wheels is leaking fluid. I first thought it was the
line or connection, but have found that it seems to be coming from the brake
mechanism itself. I haven't taken anything apart yet, but assume there must
be some O-ring inside again that is causing the leak. It is very annoying as
number one it is causing a little puddle all the time in my hangar, and I
need to add fluid eventually, but also it affects my braking when taxiing if
I have to make a hard turn to one side, because the disc pads get oily. Has
anyone else experienced this?
Also for Bruce G. and others interesting in fishing locally here, I flew
with my son to Fire Lake again yesterday, and I think I have finally nailed
the best location and technique to catch as many trout as we want. We caught
all we wanted in about 2 hours and were throwing back in the smaller ones.
And we didn't need the inflatable canoe either, as we just stood on big logs
off the shore line. And it allowed us to figure out exactly which
lures/flies worked and which didn't, as with the clear water, we could see
all the action. Best fishing I've had for a long time.
