Shadrach Posted June 26, 2021 Report Posted June 26, 2021 Are the brake calipers reversed? I’m trying to understand why the brake lines are routed in front of the swing arm. Quote
David Lloyd Posted June 26, 2021 Report Posted June 26, 2021 Yes, the calipers are reversed, now at the lower front. Quote

David Lloyd Posted June 27, 2021 Report Posted June 27, 2021 Gee, it's been about 40 years. Think the directions just said to reroute the original hoses. But going around the front of the swing arm keeps the hose away from spinning parts and the length works out properly. Did another fitting have to be used at the caliper? Don't remember, lost in time. Quote

I asked because the ones on the blue plane are routed ahead of the swingarm. Quote

Looked thru the 1/2" pile of STC instructions for windshield, tips, gap seals, hinge covers, etc. that came with my plane. The only LASAR instruction not there, so can't say for sure. I think routing around the back with the caliper moved forward would require longer hoses. 1 Quote

REALLY guys , its not rocket science... 2 Quote
JamieB Posted June 29, 2021 Report Posted June 29, 2021 Potentially interested in your Mooney M20E. The info in your listing doesn't give me the willies. Do you have a price in mind? Quote

Although I don't know about the wedding you should fly in style in the Mooney while wearing a toga. BTW, love the Fat Albert--certainly leaves an impression. 1 Quote

Captnmack Posted September 11, 2021 Report Posted September 11, 2021 That was a great looking E Alan, but how on earth does it have 2 gear up landings in 100 hours? Of course it could take years to get 100 hours! Quote
