    I inquired of Lance Neibauer regarding our nylaflow controversy. Posted
below are his comments. BTW, today's LML included an official Lancair
comment on the inadvisability of removal of the pivot pin to facilitate
placement of alternative brake lines into the gear leg. Also note that
Lancair apparently has no record of nylaflow fracture problems.

Ted,

We see nothing unsafe whatsoever with this installation.  Perhaps Brent is
worried about kinking the line in the gear leg and indeed one must exercise
care during assembly to avoid such a possibility.  Once anchored down and
then throughout service, this is not an issue and never has been during the
ten years of in service history.  A larger diameter line would require
removing the pressed in axle shaft in the leg and we do not recommend this
at all.

Sincerely,
Lance
