Can anyone advise me as to whether the thread of a motorbike/pushbike cable adjuster is compatible with the thread of the brake adjuster on the undercarriage...
Hi Jeff, You were going to get back to me with more info. I am still a little puzzled to what a 'knurled grip' looks like, though will ask the factory what...
Jeff, On my ship the cable adjuster on the brake arm does not screw into threads. The adjustment is provided by turning the adjuster "nut" (round and knurled)...
Thank you Bruce Greef and John.Obviously there are different systems in different cirruses.I have not taken my brake apart yet. Jeff Woodward John Gilbert...
In preparation for my annual inspection I measured the closing force on my airbrakes. They are currently set at 32kg of force to close (Flight manual says 10...
Adjustment is by rotating the rod ends at the inboard end. Excessive force can lead to fatigue failure of the ball part of the l'Hotellier connectors. There is...

Matt, This won't help, but I just have to tell it anyway. I too had to do an unassisted with a strong headwind. When the time came, I cranked the stick away...
Hi Matt, I have launched from asphalt without a wing runner, using the CG and tail skid (no wing tip wheels). First - you were wise to abort well before...
In my experience the metal skid is fine on asphalt. I reckon a hard plastic wing tip skid would be better than a soft rubber one. I think John's right about...
