Kolibear,

Our Rallye has the old cable type brakes that dont work anyway.

If yours are sticking, someone might be taxi-ing with their big feet still on the brakes, this can overheat them and distort the calipers

Carb icing is like my type of woman, anytime any place anywhere. I give her a bit of heat every 10-15 min.

I had another lovely flight tonight, 100 + km vis. I could see the Scottish mountains from home in Co Tyrone at 2000 feet.

I was just thinking about some of the most pleasent aircraft I have flown, Robin DR400, TB20, Piel CP-30 Emeraude ( Early CAP 10), CAP10 B&C & Various Rallyes,

Funny they are all French
