Just got started on the brakes. Parking brake valve is installed on the console. All of the fittings are installed and the reservoir. I did get the brake lines from the gear to calipers complete.
Notice the brass reservoir cap. The factory supplies a plastic one (lighter) but I like the brass. Drilled 1/16” hole for the vent.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. I suspended work on the build to focus my time on getting my Private Pilot license and needed maintenance on my home and property.
I still have not gotten my license however much progress has been made. Three weeks ago I completed the two short cross countries, one to Olympia Washington and the other to Salem Oregon. Two weeks ago I completed the long cross country, Eugene,OR to Tillamook,OR and home to Scappoose. Next week I have my written exam scheduled.
What’s left? Three hours of dual pre-check ride with my CFI and finally the Check Ride.
I am pretty well caught up on home / property maintenance so back to work on Frontier Fox!
I left off working on plumbing the brakes. Below are a few pics of brake lines. The first is underneath at the fuselage at the Grove gear, then inside to the firewall, parking brake and rudder pedals.
Below is the brake bleeder that I found and modified. I bleed the brakes from the calibers up through the master cylinders to the reservoir.
The only thing left to do is burn in the brakes during the taxi phase of Phase 3.
And Now For A Little Assembly
