Consider it a great investment, the glue is the best you
will use. One cartridge is plenty to assemble your aircraft.
C. WORKING WITH PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS:
The T45 uses pneumatic brakes and retracts. If you
follow a few tips, you should have very reliable, leak-free
operation. Neatness counts.
All airlines should be secured to the airframe to keep
them from flopping around or getting kinked. Use tie
wraps for this.
The other very important thing is to cut off the end of each
airline dead square before installing it on the nipple.
This is VITAL. You can either purchase a professional
tubing cutter from your dealer (they are approximately
$10), or you can make up a little jig to hold the airline and
keep a sharp, new razor blade perfectly upright as you
cut.
Either one works, just ensure that all ends of all airlines
are cut off dead square. Make sure all airlines are
pushed ALL THE WAY onto their nipples.
They should not need to be secured otherwise, but you
can add fine wire safety wraps if you like. Make sure all
left and right matching airlines are the same length,
particularly the brake lines, or you will get uneven
retraction or braking action.
It's worth taking the time to get everything pneumatic right
the first time, as having your landing gear fail to retract is
not THAT bad, but having it fail to deploy can really ruin
you day and the paint on the bottom of your model.
