My Cub is in Indiana and I am 7000 miles away. I have a nice young lady that keeps an eye on it and will fly it now and then to keep it all lubed up.

She told me the other day doing her run up that the brakes did not hold too well.
The local mechanic is busy right now and I am going home on 29 May to hopefully get a lot of flying and start the planning on building my hangar.

So I really hate to go home and need to order parts for my brakes and hope I just need to bleed them.
The plane had sat for a while and she needed to add some air to the tires.

Anyone know off hand what parts I might think about ordering ahead of time that might be bad.
I would rather have some things on hand than not be able to fly while I am waiting on parts.

Hoping the A&P gets a little time to look at it.

I know this is pretty vague :waving plane:
