I've had every good intention to put this new cruise setting to use.


However over the weekend, any sort of seal on my brake lines decided to blow out.


Spent the last two days fabricating one line, and "overhauling" the other caliper. (learned a lot!).
So this afternoon, after ingesting a healthy amount of brake fluid , thunderstorms rolled in. 



Looks like I'll test it out tomorrow.  I have to pick up some tubes for the Stinson regardless.

I find it handy to keep some AN6227B-23 / MS28775-218 o-rings in
the toolbox, for when I discover brake fluid on the caliper.

The trick is bleeding the brakes.

October is going to be an expensive month.  I’m flying down to Atlanta for the weekend. 
Conveniently, Spruce is there as well.  Peachtree city


I’ll be picking up 2 G5’s for the winter avionics install plan.  I already have a few more nik-nak’s squirreled away.


I’ll have to cross reference the o-rings, but having spares is always good.  Changing them is pretty easy, as is bleeding the brakes.
