Cubbers,

A friend of mine was flying my Cub yesterday and on the last landing of the day said the left brake pedal went completely flat and "oil" started dumping out of the left brake cylinder onto the floor board.

I haven't had a chance to look at it, but the filler cap is still on the reservoir, so what would've gave way? I'm remote for another week and trying to send some useful direction to my mechanic so he might be able to get it fixed before I return. Leaving for Afghanistan again in a couple of weeks and promised the boys Cub rides!


Mike-
