Due to ergonomics of pedal design it is only possible to press brake pedal to a point that will keep the plane from moving below 1800 rpm's when plane is standing still. Aeroquip 303 has same inside diameter as Nylaflow...so only thing we can figure out is that it expands slightly under pressure. Has anybody else had a similar experience when they replaced their Nylaflow?? We plan to change ergonomics of pedals by through-bolting 1-1/2" o.d. pipe across the top of the brake pedal in order to increase the amount by which the pedal can be depressed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
