a leak at my brake fluid reservoir fitting. I didn't like that fitting when I installed it 10 yrs ago.

a few more photos with the Vividia 400. made it to the center tunnel and outer bays easily. I am not sure if you can see the residual super glue at the jam nut threads, but it's there. the flight control tubes and rods have never been adjusted or removed since new, 10 years. nothing is more important than the flight controls. not even the engine.

the leak at the brake reservoir may have been due to over filling and dripping down as I found it splashed around the forward side of the firewall.
