TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>2nd photo - fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid, and keep filling it as you bleed out the air.</p><p>3rd photo - transparent/translucent tubing lets you see what is happening with the brake fluid.</p><p>4th photo - one of many bubbles that escaped as I filled the system with fluid.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvGeek</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricAircraft</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExperimentalAviation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homebuilt</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Glider</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Brakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Brakes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wheels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wheels</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LandingGear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandingGear</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bleed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bleed</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bubble</span></a></p>
