Brief Description:  Brake Cylinder Return Springs

For the brake pedal cylinders, I noticed that the right-side pedal does not always want to return easily. I found lots of builders are adding return springs to help. The springs and stops came from McMaster-Carr. Removed the brake pedal assembly from the plane, disassembled the cylinder assembly, and added the return spring, and the stop at the top of the spring. Ensured the stop does not interfere with the brake pedal action and tightened the stop in place.

Reinstalled the brake pedal assembly in the plane and re-connected the brake lines.
