I now have about 20 hours and everything is just great. BUT, I recently started fitting the gear leg fairings and in doing so I had to slightly adjust the shape of the loop in the brake line down at the wheel to allow the fairing to fit just right. I got the fairing all fitted, but have removed them because I don't want them on until I have the intersection fairings in place to lock them in place. On the first flight after making the slight change in the loop shape the brakes started SCREAMING!! Guys on the next hangar row over could hear them! Prior to this they didn't really make any noise at all. I can only speculate that if I made the change and now I have a new noise, the two must be related. The brake noise started right away, as soon as I started the plane and applied the brakes to slow down slightly to make a turn onto a taxiway. I took off, landed at another airport (problem still there), came back to my airport, tried to vary the braking, and to no avail the SCREAMING is still there. My only idea is to try to bend the tube a little to see if that changes anything. I just can't imagine that reshaping the brake line so slightly would change anything. ANY input on similar experiences or solutions would be very greatly appreciated!!!!
