Hi Everybody,
It is good to be back in touch by way of Mite Talk. I hope to hear from many of you soon.
Other than Kevin Harberg's 'Heavy Metal', is there another mite that is currently using hydraulic brakes? When I bought my wing it came with all the parts for hydraulic brakes so I am wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to mount the brake cylinders to the brake pedals. If there is a plane out there that is using hydraulics I'd sure like to see a picture. Kevin has already promised me a picture of how Denver Jacobson put his together.

I got a couple of pictures from Kevin in the mail. I will attach them here. It looks like a pretty simple installation of the master cylinders. I would like to see a little better picture of the way the walking arm at the bottom of the cylinder is attached to the floor or whatever is holding the forward end of it down. I'll cal Kevin again and see if he can get me a close up of the attach point.
I haven't heard of any other hydraulic mite so at this point I'll assume that Kevin's is the only one. Thanks Kevin, for sending the photos.
