An oldie but goodie Mark. I'm 5 years behind you, but this video is very helpful in planning my own brake line installation. You have sure come a long way from the i-phone video days.
I've watched your newer videos and I just found this one. Nice work all the way around and I've been thinking this for a while now. Just my opinion but I think you would enjoy and find a lot of uses for a Tig welder. It would bump your fabrication game up a notch. All the best to you and your projects.
Yes I agree. I've always wanted to learn how to weld. I know a guy here who is a master with the TIG welder so someday I'll buy my own set up and have him teach me.
HI, I’m Chris. Nice to meet you. I have enjoyed watching your videos building your Zenith Cursor. I will be starting my build this next Thursday in Mexico, MO. I’m so looking forward to the time time in the shop. Retirement sucks! Anyway, we all seem to be somewhat of perfectionist, so I see you trying hard hold it to weld that together. Do you TIG weld? And also, JB Weld makes a product that I have used on a cation that comes in a double tube form injection with small opening for the tight places to weld thing together. I’m taking a class at a community center on welding with TIG MIG ARGON gas. Your building a very nice plane, i hope to learn a lot from you and others so that I can do the same. Thanks for sharing with your videos.
Curious... I'm a former USAF aircraft hydraulic systems specialist. I'm as a result pretty familiar with hyd brake lines etc. etc. I'm sure your brake lines are perfectly fine for their intended job. But also, not just how I would do it myself. I'd put hard lines running down the gear struts (T6 alum or 304 stainless). Through the fuselage I'd favor a small (#3,4-ish) bulkhead union (AN flaired fitting) & a short run of steel wound rubber or Teflon hyd hose over to the hard brake lines at closest possible point. Inside the aircraft I'd prob like using hard lines (T6 alum) to the related brake master cylinders, & using short hyd hoses if needed for flexibilty at the master cylinders, etc. ..Not nearly as streamlined as yours but pretty bulletproof.. Maybe brakes aren't as critical for short-roll aircraft as say military or commercial jets, but still nice to know they'll be there whatever happens (well almost anyway.. Murphy's Law & all that). Still, yours is extremely nice work -- excellent really.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast I completely agree with your assessment. "Well almost," as I cited Murphy's 'commentary' on the way most ordered-systems devolve into (at least) semi chaos, whenever given the typically & always present opportunity; even my more robust approach might go 'kerflewy' in a heartbeat, I fully agree. I think what you did is perfectly fine, given the function & application. Nice work.. & kudos
Thanks for your nice Video, i would like the dimension of those plate so i can draw it in 3D and give it to every one back in PDF so that they can build it that would be my helping. thanks for the nice idea. Would love to build a 750. Pat Farley

@@patrickfarley8864 Well it's 3 years after I posted this video and I just saw your links. That's awesome and thanks for making it a CAD file. Very cool!
@@KitplaneEnthusiast It's a pleasure to draw some of your part in 3D but if the turn around is 3Y each time, this will take some time to confirm all the dimensions ;-) BTW if you would like some other part to be draw in 3D just ask. Have a nice Holiday.

@@KitplaneEnthusiast You are a perfect candidate for welding. Attention to detail and practice, practice.....
Very nice, good call.
Some of my best welds start with JB..
great idea on brake line fairings. Almost like the rudder cable where it exits the fuse on the RV series planes....
Very slick idea... thanks.
seems like alot more stuff than needed in the air stream......idk. im just a long time away aspiring builder....... I enjoy your vids very much!

Can you plzz tell me what is the length and width of the wings ?
JB Weld = liquid duct tape. Love the stuff.
