<<Given that a brake line failure WILL result in an "Off Tarmac

Thanks for the advice.  Another question:  I've been told to reverse the
"orientation" of the plumbing in that it is better to run the reservoir to
the right side master cylinders, making the left side cylinders the ones
closer to the brakes.  This presumably reduces the sponginess of the left
(pilot) side pedals, which are the ones used 90% of the time.  Makes sense
to me, but there is another routing that might work.  If reservoir were
connected to the left pedal on the pilot's side and the right pedal on the
co-pilot's side the total run of high pressure tubing could be reduced.  The
plan would be to run the line for the left brake down the left side of the
fuselage and the right one down the right side.  Would this create any pedal
feel issues?  The pilot would apply the left brake directly, but he would be
pumping fluid through the co-pilot's master cylinder for the right brake.
