Once satisfied, wash the tank with fuel to ensure all debris is removed. When dry
assemble the tank ensuring all lines are lock wired to prevent air entering the system
and ensuring security. It is a good idea to pressure test the tanks outside of the model
by filling with fuel prior to installation.
Air System
There are four air tanks supplied, two large and two small. There are a number of
ways to set up the air system and the following is only one recommendation. In the
test model we used the two large tanks for the undercarriage and the two smaller
bottles for the air brakes, brakes and gear doors.
In the test model the two smaller bottles
were fitted to the nose cone while the
two larger bottles were fitted to the rear
of the fuselage.
There is also room below the turbine
rails and front nose section if preferred.
Once dry make up the fuel and vent
lines to ensure adequate movement of
the clunk so it does not bind in the tank
and the vent line goes to the top of the
tank.
