To all
On Denis Vories info page http://www.europa-usa.com/enhancements.htm (great,
full of super ideas, his upholstery professionaly made) I can read in chapter
UNDERCARRIAGE :
. Thanks to Kim Prout, a hydraulic Matco parking brake valve (ACS#
06-17200)
secures Europa during parking and during run up when hands must be free.
This valve holds the brake parked for weeks and should be included with the kit
- is hard to imagine flying the aircraft without it. The parking brake lever
is located within "finger flick" distance of the hand brake handle so that one
hand can easily activate the park function and pull the brake handle.
Please, is anybody else installed this parking brake? I would like to know
before
ordering this valve by Spruce (98$), if there is enough place for the
installation
in the undercarriage tunel and so it is not necessary to move current
existing original equipment (original brake valve, lines, etc.). It is a little
difficult to make decision about it when I have not the parking valve with the
handle in my hand.
Thanks very much for answers.
