2 hours.
I finished the brake lines. I have pictures, but I can’t upload them because my VPS server keeps denying me ssh and ftp access. Something is whacked. Maybe they’re updating them or something. Anyway, more electrical plotting, planning, and pondering. At some point I’ll upload my wiring schematic and let you all tear me a new one in the comments.
Update: Here are some pics:
Left side gear. The plans actually do say to use electrical tape. Under the tape is some 1/4″ plastic tubing, cut down one side and snapped around the aluminum brake line.
During landing, the gear legs flex quite a bit, in 3 axes. Not only that, the brake caliper moves in and out relative to the wheel. The spiral tube wrapping allows for this movement.
Right side done the same way.
Brake lines attach to the fittings through the firewall to the master cylinders.
