Thanks Al. My LongEZ was a bit different. Guess I'll just have to get used to it.

I have repaired my gear leg, put on new Grove brakes, and run all new brake lines. I did the standard of filling from the brakes to the master cylinder but I still have spongy brakes. I have to depress the pedals almost to the floor to get anything solid. Is this the usual for Velocities?

Well; I think that sounds about right because most of the travel of the pedal is deflecting the rudders before pushing the brake cylinder. If you can lock up the wheels with your brakes, they're doing all they can do.
