Hello Ed,


  And what did you replace the flammable brake fluid with?

Yes, Steve, actually at the time it happened I didn't know about the fire - just knew I had a brake problem - but when I smelled the burning resin I knew exactly what had happened. That resin does burn well. There was a moment when I thought I was going to loose the aircraft given that the fire was burning below and behind the wing fuel tank - but fortunately got it out before it more than scorched the paint.
