Test Flight is Scrubbed!

Yesterday, during a taxi test, the brakes would not release properly.
Seems the problem is in the master cylinder.
I removed an o-ring that, according to the diagram,
should not have been there.
That appears to have resolved the issue.
Another set-back. Landing gear hydraulic system malfunction.
I think the problem is a faulty gear down pressure switch.
I'll try to look at it tomorrow.
Getting pretty tired of this. I want to do something else.
Maybe it's time to buy a new motorcycle. Hmmm.

  2. Yes, I have a valve, that when opened, allows the landing gear to fall into place. Really easy and safe!
