We just finished replacing all Nylaflow on LNC2 711YA
with Aeroquip 303, properly bled all air from brake
lines, and discovered that brakes are now "spongy" and
take a much greater movement of brake pedal to achieve
braking action.  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.  __________________________________________________
