Is anyone willing to comment on the master cylinders.It seems there should be some sort of external return spring around the actuating shafts.I notice some dragging when towing.

All disc brakes drag .... just some more than others. As for the spring, I'd recommend it. It'll surely take off some pressure, and it'll make bleeding the brakes a lot easier. Doesn't take much piston travel to shur off the valve.
Linn just my two pennies.

Not sure what you mean dragging when towing?? There are no external springs. Check your nut are not to tight on pedal

The brakes on my C-170 are the same, they don' t spring open, and will touch ever so slightly against the disks..... but in the air, the wheels are not turning! As the pads wear, the contact of ten lightens up when the brakes are NOT applied. Not a major issue.

All disc brakes depend on the minute wobble in the rotors to push the pucks back when released. I've never seen any with return springs, and I don't think that springs on the master cylinders would help either.

When I finished my RV-6A, I noticed a lot of times that it was harder to push it in the hangar than it should be. One day when it was fairly hard to move, I pulled back on the tops of the brake pedals and then it moved much easier. After more experimentation, I found that a lot of times the master cylinders were not returning completing, causing the brakes to drag. I took the canopy release spring that I didn't use when building the plane and cut it in half, stretched it some, and put one on the shaft outside of each master cylinder. That fixed the brake dragging and it has been easy to move since then. I've made this modification to other RVs with similar results. I'm not flying my RV-10 yet so I haven't tried it there, but the brakes are essentially the same as the RV-6A, so I would expect similar results.
