• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I guess it's time to bleed the brakes on my Hatz after finding the RH side spongy last weekend. Never worked with this type of master cylinder before, I belive this is a Scott? Are they all the same or are there different models I need to be aware of if ordering parts?

I'll have to take the passenger seat out to get access so I haven't looked closely at it yet. Hopefully it was just low and let some air in, there is no evidence of leakage anywhere. Any gotchas about bleeding it? I'm assuming the usual, push fluid up from the caliper until the reservoir is full?
