TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Glider flight controls.This video shows operation of the spoiler control lever, which is also the wheel brake control. Note that there are two push-pull tubes connected to the lever.For most of the lever travel, the wheel brake is not engaged. Note that this push-pull tube has a telescoping sliding coupling that is set up so that the master cylinder is not compressed until almost the very end of the lever travel. Also note that I pause briefly at the point where the wheel break master cylinder first gets compressed. The second portion of the video shows the control levers, aft of the landing gear box, that will ultimately be connected with bellcranks that are attached to the wing roots.This is a simpler system than the flaperons.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AvGeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Brakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brakes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Spoilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spoilers</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️The glider's landing gear brake has been successfully bled of air bubbles. Brake lever action feels firm and stiff, not spongy. No leaks noted anywhere. I feel good about initial tests of the brake when the glider is next assembled.1st photo - overall configuration. The bleed tube is on the left side and leads to a jar in which to collect excess brake fluid. The actual brake line is on the right, and quite thin. The orange color is outer tubing that serves as a scuff/wear protector.2nd photo - fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid, and keep filling it as you bleed out the air.3rd photo - transparent/translucent tubing lets you see what is happening with the brake fluid.4th photo - one of many bubbles that escaped as I filled the system with fluid.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AvGeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Brakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brakes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wheels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wheels</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LandingGear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandingGear</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bleed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bleed</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bubble</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Before the glider landing gear gets reassembled, I riveted new brake pads to replace the old ones.Then I practiced a couple times to determine a workable assembly sequence that required the minimum of wrestling, fuss, and need for a third and fourth hand.Now I can add brake fluid and bleed out the air bubbles.This brake is supposed to have enough stopping power that I can inadvertently tip the fuselage and scrape the nose if I brake too hard.

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️How fast does brake fluid dissolve certain tubing?I have read that DOT 3 brake fluid will dissolve vinyl tubing, so I won't use it in my brake system.But how fast does vinyl tubing dissolve in DOT 3? A couple days ago I put a piece of vinyl tubing in brake fluid. I also put a piece of Tygon tubing in fluid...as a control/comparison.So far the vinyl has not turned into a pile of goo.

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️I have to take apart the glider's wheel brake piston to swap out the O-ring.Why? Because I want to use a different brake fluid (that also works with the master cylinder), and the existing O-ring will get soft and dissolve with the new brake fluid.I cleaned up the sides of the aluminum piston with a scotch Brite pad...and then realized that I can do a better job on surface quality without too much effort.Wet sanding, starting with 400 grit to remove wear and tool marks...ending with Brasso metal polish and a Dremel and felt polishing pad...and it's a mirror finish.Now I can reassemble with the new O-ring.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AvGeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Brakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brakes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Polish</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Piston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Piston</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aluminum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Aluminum</a>

Chris DudleyAs an early EV adopter, I run into some undocumented things. Today I replaced the 12-volt battery in my 2016 <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Nissan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nissan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Leaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Leaf</a>. It had a bad cell and was only charging to about 10 volts. The way I found out about the problem was that the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/BRAKES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BRAKES</a> FAILED! Apparently, low voltage causes confusion to the car between regenerative braking and traditional braking. This IS NOT MENTIONED in the manual. I was at low speed, and really pumping the brake got them to engage but this seems like a HUGE issue.

Some day you will meet an emergency; even in careful driving, which may mean life or death. Give poor brakes an inch and they will often take yards to respond. BUICK FOUR-WHEEL BRAKES not only pull you up—they stop you dead. Skidding on slippery pavements is greatly reduced. BUICK brakes act upon all four wheels positively; and especially on the front wheels, where the weight is thrown. Four-wheel brakes are the natural equipment of a fine automobile in which the motorist’s comfort, pleasure and safety is studied thoroughly.
