Yes I had a failure last winter. I selected gear down in 20 below weather
and upon landing had no brake on the right side. The Nylaflow had cracked
and I lost pressure on that side. I managed to turn left and aim the plane
between the runways lights and stop the plane in the infield with about 10
inches of snow as a make shift brake. No damage thank god.

It was pretty scary though. At that time I was unaware of any other fix so
we did the best we could to replace it properly. It appeared that the tube
was bending more than it needed to be. But anyways, I am currently doing a
Walter conversion and also replacing the NylaFlow tubes.
