Long EZ Progress

Away from Saratoga 004

She flies great, but as of 10/15/09 we are on the ground.   Seems a lot of dirt got into the right brake caliper and crudded up the piston O-ring.  The result is a leak and no right turns.  Fortunately this happened on a taxiway, going very slowly.  I do remember the right brake fading just a little on the last landing but only the right side.  Shudda figured!  Now the preflight checklist will include checking for dripping calipers.
