FEI BAO/FB Jets Large T33
Step 5: Nose Doors
It will be helpful at this point to ensure that you are happy with the function of the nose door. The
manufacturing process on this model is very high and we did not have to change or tighten
anything at all with the nose wheel gear doors.
•
Refer to the general construction tips for an explanation on gearing up the air systems.
•
Install two air tanks in the space in front and below the component compartment, we
found that they tucked into the space beside the front nose wheel bay.
Photo 1 – air tanks placed in forward fuselage. Location of your air tanks is optional.
•
Use several dots of silicone glue such as Zap-a-Gap-a-Goo. Don’t overdo the glue,
however, as you may want to remove the tanks in the future.
•
When the glue is dry, run air system lines to the tanks. In our T33, all air and fuel fill lines are
run to the front hatch of the airframe together with the fuelling points etc for easy of service.
•
Layout the air system components on the front or rear board and then bolt the board into
place with four small wood screws. Your layout on this area is optional.
•
Run air lines to the nose gear and nose door cylinders. A little patience and good skills with
a forceps will be required. Test each line as you go with a hand pump for leaks. It will also
help to follow a colour coding scheme for future line identification and trouble shooting.
•
Be sure to locate the main undercarriage air tubing clear of the engine and with the
modification of the bypass protection of the air tubes to the main undercarriage can be
achieved.
