I've seen what happens (occasional, and at the time unexplained, dragging brakes that finally caused a pant fire after an extensive taxi) when an aerobatic airplane was discovered to be fitted with an un-vented plug on the reservoir (maybe to avoid fluid seepage while inverted). The some-time dragging brake problem never recurred after changing to the standard vented plug at the reservoir. John Chambers, Boise, Id Leg2, 91% to go
