Hey everyone. I got my f-18 on the 31st. IT is a neat looking plane! I got through a lot of stuff today. I have a question for you all. I am new to air retract systems and I went through and did everything by the book with mine. Now I haven’t pressurized the system yet and checked for leaks or anything but my question is, once you pressurize the system and there are no leaks do you ever have to do it again? Also do I need to do anything with the tees and fittings like a small clamp or a little CA on them to keep them secure on the lines?

You do not clamp the tubes...... the barb fittings are pleanty to hold the system together.

System leaks .... I wouldnt worry about it too much. In the past the biggest leak source was the valve. The valve used here is pretty good.

If I am not mistaken, the F-18 comes with spring gear.
