Default RE: FEJ Large Hawk

Nose section now fitted and wires and tubes starting to be run. Deviating from the stock set up I added two extra air bottles. One large one for the gear and doors, so three in total and one medium size individual for the brakes and speed brake.
I also chose to use Festo T fittings.. Only because I like them and they way they fit the air tube. However. I did get caught out by having no 4 way fittings so had to use the ones that came with the kit. I pressure tested them in water and di not find a single leak. Although, I did find one that was blocked internally which needed a drill running through two of the nipples before it would work. Lucky really as it would have been a real pain finding that deep inside an installed air system.
