Ted,
I am interested to know some facts on the nylaflow brake failure issue.
> 1. How long has the tubing been in service?
Answer. First flight was December 2002. Aircraft now has 200
hours.
> 2. How long has the tubing been out of Vern's hands?
Answer. Kit delivery was Feb 2000.
> 3. Where, specifically, has the tubing failed?
> In the bend at the top of the leg? Down at the hub?
Answer. The nylaflow failed inside the gear leg at the pivot point,
where the pin goes though the top of the gear leg into the gear box.
